At its core, it involves ensuring adherence to legal requirements and internal company guidelines and minimizing the risks of legal violations in advance through prevention. A key component in this regard is Compliance Management Systems (CMS). &#8220;Internal Investigations,&#8221; on the other hand, represent the reactive side of compliance. The term refers to measures taken by a company when there is suspicion of internal breaches of duty by its own employees, particularly criminal offenses and regulatory violations, in order to investigate the suspicion internally or to support state investigative authorities in their investigation.    <\/p><p> <\/p><p> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2b1b8c1a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2b1b8c1a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Stirnweiss | Brenner Rechtsanw\u00e4lte advises clients on identifying legal risks within companies, implementing effective preventive measures, and responding appropriately in the event of violations of legal requirements and internal company guidelines.

It is the so-called master of the investigation proceedings, and only particularly intrusive investigative measures\u2014such as arrest warrants, searches of premises or 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 secure crime scenes and evidence, carry out arrests, searches and seizures, and question witnesses. The court only becomes involved in a criminal matter if and insofar as the public prosecutor\u2019s office, after completing the investigations, does not discontinue the proceedings but instead brings charges. Any judicial involvement with a criminal offence is therefore conditional and limited by an indictment by the public prosecutor\u2019s office (so-called monopoly on indictments). In this respect, the public prosecutor\u2019s office has a powerful role in criminal proceedings, and the course of criminal proceedings 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-1356\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1356\" 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-1356\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1356\"><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).

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>.

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.

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.
