ProCap Newsletter No. 35
Dear Clients,
Even though the criminal complaint against the platform has not yet been formally submitted, it is important to understand how the process of recovering funds and the criminal proceedings generally work, so you know what to expect and which steps you can take.
Phases of criminal proceedings and your rights:
- Filing of the criminal complaint – the process begins with the formal submission of the complaint to the competent prosecutor’s office. After this, the grounds for an investigation are established.
- Investigation – the prosecutor collects evidence, interviews witnesses, and gathers information on the assets of the accused. During this phase, information about the investments of the victims can be crucial for securing funds that may be returned.
- Indictment – if there is sufficient evidence, the prosecutor files an indictment against the responsible parties, and the case moves to court.
- Court proceedings – the court examines the evidence and decides on the guilt of the accused and, if applicable, the obligation to return funds to the victims.
- Recovery of funds – as part of the judgment or protective measures, the court may order the return of invested funds, in full or in part, to the victims of the fraud.
Your role and recommendations:
- Keep all documentation regarding payments, communications, and contracts with the platform.
- Stay informed and maintain contact with our team – timely information allows faster protection of your rights.
- Although the investigation phase may take time, the documentation you prepare now increases the chances of recovering funds once the proceedings officially begin.
Kind regards,
Attorney Zoran Miljaković
