The MPs adopted in final reading a bill that regulates the mechanism for challenging the criminal prosecution body’s refusal to accept a complaint or denouncement concerning the commission or preparation for the commission of an offense, IPN reports.

Under the bill, the criminal prosecution body’s refusal to accept the complaint could be challenged with the prosecutor or the hierarchically superior prosecutor within 15 days of the date the ordinance is made public. The ordinance can be challenged with the judge of inquiry within ten days of the day it is made known.

If the legal representative of the legal entity is investigated for the same offense or related offenses as the entity, the legal entity can designate another legal representative that is not involved in a criminal procedure within five days of the day the ordinance to class this as a suspect is made know or within 48 hours of the day the ordinance to charge this is made known. If the legal entity does not designate a representative, the judge of inquiry or the court of law can choose a representative for the legal entity.
