Abstract

On 1 July 2016 a new amendment to the Criminal Procedural Code and Criminal Act came into force. A police authority can now decide on the temporary suspension of the criminal prosecution of a suspect if the suspect provided or promised to provide a bribe only because he/she was requested to do so and notifies the prosecutor or police authority willingly and without any unreasonable delay.
