Please tell me why the police call and come to the house...?

solved

I filed a criminal complaint. As I understand it, they should open a case and start an investigation. But they, having received a statement in the mail, start calling and inviting to their home. Tell me why they do it? What are the pitfalls if I come without a summons?

After the opening of criminal proceedings, you acquired the status of a victim.

According to Article 57 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine, the victim is obliged to:

  1. arrive upon summons to the investigator, prosecutor, investigating judge, court, and in case of impossibility of timely arrival - to inform in advance about this, as well as the reasons for impossibility of arrival;

  2. not to prevent the establishment of the circumstances of the commission of a criminal offense;

  3. not to disclose, without the permission of the investigator, the prosecutor, the court, information that has become known to him in connection with participation in criminal proceedings and that constitutes a secret protected by law.

If the victim, who was summoned in the prescribed manner, did not appear without valid reasons or did not report the reasons for his non-arrival, he shall be fined in the amount of:

  • from 0.25 to 0.5 of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons - in case of non-arrival at the summons of the investigator, prosecutor;

  • from 0.5 to 2 sizes of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons - in case of non-arrival at the summons of the investigating judge, the court.

Procedural action(s) for which you are summoned (interrogation, conduct of other investigative action with mandatory indication of which one) is specified in the summons.
