Unlike administrative offense law, &#8220;punishment&#8221; here does not involve warnings and fines or civil damages, but rather monetary penalties, security and rehabilitation measures, such as psychiatric commitments, and even custodial sentences (imprisonment). Criminal law is thus the state&#8217;s <strong>sharpest tool<\/strong>, the so-called ultima ratio, to maintain order. Therefore, high legitimation requirements and strict application standards are placed on criminal law.    Arbitrary punishment must be prevented under all circumstances. Protective principles apply, such as the <strong>principle of culpability<\/strong> and the <strong>principle of legality<\/strong>, according to which an act can only be punished if its criminality was legally defined before the act was committed (&#8220;No punishment without law.&#8221;). <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus-square\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What is the \u201cCriminal Code\u201d (StGB)?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1432\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1432\"><p>The Criminal Code (StGB) is the <strong>main legal source of criminal law<\/strong>.

They are in the hands of the <strong>public prosecutor&#8217;s office<\/strong>. It is the so-called master of the investigation proceedings, and only for particularly incisive investigative measures, such as arrest warrants, house searches, or wiretapping of telecommunications, is an order from a so-called <strong>investigating judge<\/strong> required. In all investigative measures, the <strong>police<\/strong> act as the &#8220;extended arm&#8221; of the public prosecutor&#8217;s office.    Thus, the police not only receive criminal complaints from citizens but also secure crime scenes and evidence, carry out arrests, detentions, searches, and seizures, and interrogate witnesses. The court only becomes involved in a criminal matter if and when the public prosecutor&#8217;s office, after concluding the investigations, does not discontinue the proceedings but files an indictment. Any judicial involvement in a criminal offense is therefore conditional and limited by an indictment from the public prosecutor&#8217;s office (the so-called monopoly of indictment). In this respect, the public prosecutor&#8217;s office has a powerful function in criminal proceedings, and the course of criminal proceedings is often set already during the public prosecutor&#8217;s investigation.   <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1436\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1436\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus-square\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">What are the \u201cmain proceedings\u201d?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1436\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1436\"><p>The main proceedings constitute the <strong>actual criminal trial in court<\/strong>, i.e., the court hearing that begins after the conclusion of the preliminary proceedings\/investigation and the filing of charges by the public prosecutor&#8217;s office, as well as a brief judicial charge review procedure (intermediate proceedings), and ends with a judicial verdict or acquittal. Procedural control is transferred to the competent court. In minor cases, the <strong>Local Court<\/strong> (AG) has jurisdiction; in more serious cases, the <strong>Regional Court<\/strong> (LG). In homicide cases, the LG acts as a so-called jury court, although today this is merely the special designation of a large chamber at the LG and does not mean that a jury decides on culpability as in the United States.    The LG also serves as the appellate instance for appeals against Local Court verdicts. The highest ordinary court in a federal state is the <strong>Higher Regional Court<\/strong> (OLG). However, it rarely serves as a court of first instance, such as in cases involving state security. Rather, the OLG largely functions only as an appellate instance when the legal remedy of appeal on points of law is filed. The <strong>Federal Court of Justice<\/strong> (BGH) is never a court of first instance but, as the highest German court of ordinary jurisdiction, deals exclusively with appeals on points of law.

Above all, the so-called <strong>principle of legality<\/strong> applies, according to which the public prosecutor&#8217;s office and the police are not only authorized but also obliged to investigate every so-called initial suspicion of a criminal offense (&#8220;sufficient factual indications&#8221;) and, after concluding the investigations, to file an indictment with the court in the event of a so-called sufficient suspicion. Furthermore, the so-called <strong>principle of objectivity<\/strong> applies, meaning that not only the courts but also the public prosecutor&#8217;s office and the police must be objective and neutral in their investigations and decisions and, unlike, for example, in US criminal proceedings, must not be partisan.   Overall, not least, the <strong>presumption of innocence<\/strong> prevails, which is even enshrined in Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR).

And: suspects have the right to be professionally represented by an attorney as criminal defence counsel (<strong>right to counsel<\/strong>). <\/p>\n<p>The right to a fair trial is also enshrined and elaborated, for example, in <strong>Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR)<\/strong>. Article 6 ECHR specifies the rights of suspects as follows: <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Right to a hearing before an independent and impartial tribunal established by law, in a fair trial, in public and within a reasonable time;<\/li>\n<li>Right to public pronouncement of the judgment;<\/li>\n<li>Right to be presumed innocent until proved guilty according to law (so-called presumption of innocence);<\/li>\n<li>Right to be informed promptly, in a language which they understand and in detail, of the nature and cause of the accusation against them;<\/li>\n<li>Right to have adequate time and facilities for the preparation of the defence;<\/li>\n<li>Right to defend themselves in person or through legal assistance of their own choosing or, if they have insufficient means to pay for legal assistance, to be given it free when the interests of justice so require;<\/li>\n<li>Right to examine or have examined witnesses against them and to obtain the attendance and examination of witnesses on their behalf under the same conditions as witnesses against them;<\/li>\n<li>Right to the free assistance of an interpreter if they cannot understand or speak the German language.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Suspects must be <strong>informed of the essential rights of suspects<\/strong> by the prosecuting authorities and later, for example, by the criminal courts. This instruction itself serves to protect the suspect and is therefore a <strong>fundamental right of the suspect<\/strong>. Not infrequently, police officers on the scene in particular violate these duties to inform and question suspects like a witness despite various allegations, so that a suspect initially has a \u201cfalse sense of security\u201d.

No one is obliged to incriminate themselves through a statement, and a suspect&#8217;s silence may not be interpreted to their disadvantage.  This right to remain silent as a suspect and to exercise it has <strong>clear practical procedural advantages<\/strong>. Consider the following: <\/p>\n<p>Especially in criminal proceedings, a suspect is confronted with the state\u2019s clear superiority and is often genuinely shocked by investigative measures taken by the prosecuting authorities. In such shock moments, <strong>careless remarks can quickly \u201cslip out\u201d<\/strong> (so-called spontaneous statements), and even <strong>seemingly considered statements<\/strong> can be disadvantageous from a procedural-strategic perspective.

In criminal proceedings, suspects often overestimate their ability to exonerate themselves without consulting an attorney who specialises in criminal law. <\/li>\n<li>Exercise your right to remain silent until you have consulted with a criminal defence lawyer.<\/li>\n<li>In a constitutional state, your silence does not make you suspicious, nor does it mean that you have something to hide. By remaining silent, you are also not obstructing the investigation.

If the public prosecutor\u2019s office reaches this conclusion, i.e. believes that there is a so-called predominant likelihood of conviction, it speaks of a <strong>\u201csufficient suspicion\u201d<\/strong> and is obliged to bring charges before the competent criminal court. If the public prosecutor\u2019s office does not reach this conclusion, it has the opposite duty to discontinue the proceedings. This respective duty of the public prosecutor\u2019s office is part of the so-called principle of legality.   <\/p>\n<p>In the event of an indictment, this decision by the public prosecutor\u2019s office also means that it has decided against the various options for discontinuing the criminal proceedings, for example discontinuation subject to payment of a monetary condition, and against issuing a penal order. The public prosecutor\u2019s office is therefore convinced that the criminal matter belongs before a criminal court, i.e. requires <strong>further criminal-law review in a court hearing<\/strong> and will <strong>most likely lead to a criminal judgment<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>For the accused, the indictment by the public prosecutor\u2019s office primarily means that procedural control passes to the competent criminal court.
