What happens after a police report?

The police begins to initiate an investigation. The preliminary investigation may result in one or more persons being prosecuted for crimes, or it can be closed if the police either fail to find a suspected offender or if the evidence is not sufficient.

If there is sufficient evidence, the prosecutor decides to prosecute. The prosecutor submits a lawsuit to the district court. The district court then decides on the date of the main negotiation. Thereafter, the court will decide on possible penalties.
