The Criminal Process in Colombia: What You Need to Know

The criminal process in Colombia has several key stages, and understanding them can help you approach the case with more clarity:

  • Preliminary investigation: The Prosecutor's Office investigates the facts to determine if there is sufficient evidence to start a criminal case.
  • Filing charges: If sufficient evidence is found, charges are filed against the accused. At this stage, it is crucial to have a defense that can review and, if necessary, challenge the evidence presented.
  • Accusation and preparatory hearing: Formal charges are presented, and the trial is organized. Here, the criminal defense attorney can request evidence and prepare the defense strategy.
  • Oral trial: The judge or tribunal listens to both sides and reviews the evidence. The defense presents arguments in favor of the accused, aiming for a favorable verdict or acquittal.
  • Appeal and review: If the outcome is unfavorable, appeals can be filed to review the decision. Having a criminal defense attorney at each of these stages is essential to ensure your rights are respected and that your defense is strong.
