Can the letter of understanding be submitted to the procuratorate by itself?

If it is an understanding reached during the investigation, the letter of understanding should be submitted to the case-handling organ together with the investigation file. If the case has entered the stage of examination and prosecution, the parties shall submit it to the procuratorate themselves.

Both the criminal reconciliation and the letter of understanding were given to the procuratorate, which can issue documents to receive evidence. There are no special provisions in the law. If both parties reach a settlement in criminal proceedings, the victim shall issue a letter of understanding.

Criminal reconciliation refers to a way in which victims communicate directly with criminal suspects and defendants and negotiate with them through mediators or other organizations during criminal proceedings.

The role of the letter of understanding in the procuratorate;

If the criminal suspect and the victim reach a compensation agreement and obtain the understanding of the victim, the judicial organ may give a lighter, mitigated or exempted criminal punishment. For cases that have reached a settlement agreement, the public security organ may make suggestions to the people's procuratorate for leniency.

The people's procuratorate may put forward suggestions to the people's court for lenient punishment, and may make a decision not to prosecute if the crime is minor and does not need to be sentenced to punishment. The people's court may punish the defendant lightly according to law.
