FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Criminal Defence in Commercial Criminal Law
Here you will find answers to some of the most common questions I am asked in my practice as a criminal defence lawyer. These insights are designed to give you an initial understanding of the subject and to address your key concerns.
What Does Commercial Criminal Law Include?
Commercial criminal law covers a wide variety of offences, most of which share the common feature of being connected to business activities. These include, among others, offences such as fraud, breach of trust, corruption, insolvency offences, and competition violations. Criminal allegations in this area are always directed against natural persons.
How Does Defence in Commercial Criminal Law Differ from Other Areas of Law?
Defence in commercial criminal law is often more complex and demanding than in other types of offences. Investigation files are usually extensive – but this very complexity can also open up important avenues for the defence.
What Is the First Step When Facing Allegations in Commercial Criminal Law?
The same principles apply here as in other areas of criminal law: the right to remain silent is of paramount importance, particularly at the beginning of the proceedings. Contact a specialist lawyer for criminal law. A statement should only be made after the case files have been reviewed.
How Can I Defend Myself Against Allegations in Commercial Criminal Law?
In the investigation stage, the accused has numerous defence options. The legal and factual basis of the prosecution’s investigative hypotheses should be challenged. Particularly in commercial criminal law, there are often many different approaches for doing so.
How Long Can Commercial Criminal Proceedings Last?
The duration of commercial criminal law proceedings can vary greatly. Courts and prosecution authorities often struggle with the complexity of economic crime cases; in any event, these proceedings are demanding. Investigations, in particular, may drag on for several years.
What Options Are Available for Discontinuing Proceedings in Commercial Criminal Law?
The provisions of the German Code of Criminal Procedure on the discontinuation of proceedings (§§ 153 et seq. StPO) are of great practical significance in commercial criminal law. Defence strategies frequently aim at achieving such a discontinuation, which as a rule does not affect the presumption of innocence.
What Should I Do If I Receive a Summons as Part of Commercial Criminal Law Proceedings?
If you receive a summons as a suspect, it is essential to seek legal assistance immediately. Only after comprehensive access to the case file can the allegations be properly assessed. A detailed written submission can then be used to counter the allegations.
