Services

Criminal prosecution support

Support for victims working with law enforcement — evidence packaging, formal complaints, and liaison with prosecutors and investigators.

What this service covers

Preparation of forensically sound evidence packages for submission to investigators; drafting of formal criminal complaints; liaison with prosecutors, police cybercrime units, and international reporting centres (IC3, Action Fraud, HK Police CCB, etc.); victim-impact statements and restitution applications.

When this service applies

  1. 01You have identified or partially identified the counterparty and the conduct fits a criminal offence in the relevant jurisdiction.
  2. 02A criminal investigation is already underway and you need professional support to interact with it effectively.
  3. 03The scale or pattern of conduct is likely to meet the threshold at which prosecutors accept a file.
  4. 04You are eligible for victim-compensation schemes that require formal legal documentation.

When this service may NOT be appropriate

Criminal complaints are not a substitute for civil recovery. In many jurisdictions the criminal track runs years behind and recovery for victims is limited.

  • · Civil recovery is the more effective path and the criminal route would only delay it.
  • · The jurisdiction does not treat the conduct as criminal in practice, regardless of how it is characterised in statute.
  • · You prefer not to be identified publicly; most criminal proceedings require this.

Our approach

  1. 01Evidence review and chain-of-custody preservation.
  2. 02Drafting the complaint in a form prosecutors in the target jurisdiction will accept.
  3. 03Direct liaison with the investigating unit where professional counsel is admitted.
  4. 04Victim impact and restitution applications where schemes exist.

Relevant legal frameworks

Applicable criminal codes in the investigating jurisdiction; rules governing victim participation and disclosure; mutual-legal-assistance treaties for cross-border evidence; confidentiality and reporting regimes.

Practical limitations

We do not represent the prosecution and cannot compel an investigator to accept a file. We can, however, substantially improve the odds that a file is accepted and correctly understood.
