Decision to Prosecute the Accused: What Specific Information Must Be Clearly Stated?

Pursuant to Clause 2, Article 179 of the Criminal Procedure Code 2015, the provisions on prosecution of an accused are as follows:

The decision to prosecute an accused shall specify the time and place of issuance of the decision; full name and position of the decision-maker; full name, date of birth, nationality, ethnicity, religion, gender, residence, and occupation of the accused; the crime for which the accused is prosecuted, according to which article and clause of the Penal Code; the time and place of the crime, and other details of the offense.

In case the accused is prosecuted for multiple crimes, the decision to prosecute must clearly state each crime and the articles and clauses of the Penal Code applied.

Thus, the decision to prosecute an accused must clearly and specifically record the aforementioned contents.
