It is the so-called master of the investigation proceedings, and only particularly intrusive investigative measures\u2014such as arrest warrants, searches of premises or the interception of telecommunications\u2014require an order by an <strong>investigating judge<\/strong>. In all investigative measures, the <strong>police<\/strong> are the public prosecutor\u2019s \u201cextended arm\u201d. The police therefore not only receive criminal complaints from citizens, but also, for example, secure crime scenes and evidence, carry out arrests and detentions, searches and seizures, and question witnesses. The court becomes involved in a criminal matter only if and insofar as, after completing the investigations, the public prosecutor\u2019s office does not discontinue the proceedings but files charges.      Any judicial involvement with a criminal offence is therefore conditional upon and limited by an indictment by the public prosecutor\u2019s office (so-called prosecutorial monopoly). In this respect, the public prosecutor\u2019s office has a powerful role in criminal proceedings, and the course of a criminal case is not infrequently set already during the prosecutorial investigation proceedings. <\/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-2106\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-2106\" 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-2106\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-2106\"><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.

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 and does not mean that you have something to hide. Nor does your silence obstruct the investigation. And your silence does not prolong the proceedings.  <\/li>\n<li>Anyone who remains silent is simply exercising their legitimate right and knows that they should consult an attorney who specialises in criminal law.<\/li>\n<li>Anyone who remains silent knows that, through their attorney, they should first obtain access to the investigation files before making any statement on the allegation and investigative measures.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\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-1203\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1203\" 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\">\u201cDetention\u201d, \u201carrest\u201d, \u201chouse search\u201d \u2013 How should suspects behave correctly?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1203\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1203\"><p>Detentions, arrests, house searches, seizures or other intrusive investigative measures by the prosecuting authorities are often a shock moment for those affected.

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. And: in court, the accused is referred to as the <strong>\u201cdefendant\u201d<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>From the moment the indictment is available, the criminal defence lawyer for the accused\u2014now the defendant\u2014is particularly challenged. <strong>It is \u201call or nothing\u201d<\/strong>, and the defence strategy must be adapted to the course of the main hearing before the criminal court.
