Can the State Agency be prosecuted if the victim does not file a lawsuit?

Party A, returning home late from work, collided with Party B, who was walking on the road. The injuries sustained were not severe, and both parties, A and B, have agreed on compensation and settled the matter. However, they were still summoned by the police for investigation. I would like to inquire whether the police have the authority to impose sanctions even though both parties have already reached an agreement. Thank you, lawyer!

According to Article 155 of the 2015 Criminal Procedure Code, prosecution cases are initiated upon the request of the victim. To be specific:

Criminal prosecution for offenses specified in Clause 1 of Articles 134, 135, 136, 138, 139, 141, 143, 155, 156, and 226 of the Criminal Code shall only be initiated upon the request of the victim or the representative of the victim if the victim is under 18 years old, mentally or physically impaired, or deceased.

Thus, if you violate and constitute an offense under Clauses 2, 3, or 4 of the above articles or the offense of violating road traffic regulations (Article 260 of the 2015 Criminal Code, amended in Clause 72 Article 1 of the 2017 Amended Criminal Code), in this case, even if the victim does not request prosecution, state authorities still have the right to initiate proceedings against your conduct.

Therefore, to determine whether the investigative agency is acting lawfully or not, it is necessary to consider the injury rate of the victim and whether your actions violate traffic regulations.

Respectfully!
