A complaint in a criminal case is a document drawn up by the accused (his representative) or other persons in order to protect his violated rights and establish the truth in the case. It is submitted in writing in the form of a separate document, or is entered by the investigator in the protocol of the investigative action.
Instructions
Step 1
Russian law does not regulate the procedure for writing a complaint in a criminal case. It is only mentioned that persons (accused, victim, witness, etc.), whose rights have been violated by the actions of the investigator, can appeal against them. To do this, you must submit in writing to the head of the body conducting the preliminary investigation of the criminal case. In any case it is possible to file a complaint with the court.
Step 2
You must start writing a complaint by filling in the so-called "header". It indicates the official or name of the body to which the complaint is filed, surname, name, patronymic, procedural status of the person filing the complaint.
Step 3
Then write the word "complaint" in the center of the line. Then, in a free form, you set out the very essence of the appeal. Here it is necessary to indicate which violations were committed (if possible, make references to the articles of the law), by whom they were committed, during which investigative measures. You can indicate your way out of this situation and the way to restore your rights.
Step 4
Then indicate the request to remedy the violation of your rights. Then sign your complaint, put the current date. The complaint is signed by the person who made it. The finished complaint must be submitted to the office of the investigating authority.
