The term &#8220;<strong>white-collar crimes<\/strong>&#8221; specifically refers to offenses committed at the management level. These include, for example, fraud, embezzlement, delayed insolvency filing, and corruption, as well as insider trading and balance sheet manipulation. Criminal proceedings in this area, commercial criminal law, are usually highly complex and extensive, requiring not only legal expertise but also an understanding of economic contexts.

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.

The public prosecutor&#8217;s office is the so-called master of the investigation proceedings, and only for particularly intrusive investigative measures, such as arrest warrants, house searches, or wiretapping of telecommunications, is an order from a so-called <strong>investigating judge<\/strong> required. For all investigative measures, the <strong>police<\/strong> act as the &#8220;extended arm&#8221; of the public prosecutor&#8217;s office. 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 completing the investigations, does not discontinue the proceedings but files an indictment.      Any judicial involvement in a criminal offense is thus conditioned and limited by an indictment from the public prosecutor&#8217;s office (the so-called indictment monopoly). 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-1876\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1876\" 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-1876\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1876\"><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).

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. As a witness\u2014and all the more as a suspect\u2014you should therefore <strong>insist early on on consulting an attorney<\/strong>. If the prosecuting authorities refuse to allow an attorney to be consulted, you should have this recorded immediately.    <\/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-1302\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1302\" 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\">\u201cRight to remain silent\u201d \u2013 Why is it better for a suspect to remain silent?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1302\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1302\"><p>Suspects in investigative proceedings have the <strong>right to remain silent<\/strong>. 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. This should be avoided, because officers of the prosecuting authorities always make file notes and record every statement made by a suspect. These recorded statements then not infrequently determine the further course of the proceedings and can later be revised only with difficulty\u2014or not at all.   <\/p>\n<p>In short:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Do not make spontaneous statements, and do not make seemingly considered statements either. 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-1303\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1303\" 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-1303\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"3\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1303\"><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.
