How can family members contact the court for restitution?

Contact through a lawyer

1. Family members or lawyers should contact the case handlers directly. It is best to pass the public security inspection law in advance, or entrust a defense lawyer to ask the case-handling personnel to understand the attitude of the criminal suspect and the amount of stolen goods he hopes to return, so as to understand the next disposal measures; 2. In some cases, due to the consideration of transition period, the police are not very welcome to return stolen goods. At this time, we should sincerely express our wishes to the case-handling personnel, or find the person in charge of the unit to reflect; 3. Negotiate compensation directly with the victim and get an understanding.

Legal basis: Article 300 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC). After hearing the case, the people's court ruled that the illegal income and other property involved in the case should be confiscated, except that the victim was returned according to law; If it does not belong to the property that should be recovered, the application shall be rejected and the measures of sealing up, seizure and freezing shall be lifted.

The criminal suspect, the close relatives of the defendant and other interested parties or the people's procuratorate may appeal or protest against the ruling made by the people's court in accordance with the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

The voluntary return of stolen goods has certain influence on the judgment of the case. Generally, a lighter sentence or a lighter punishment can be given, and the reduction is within 30% of the sentence. There is a certain difference between returning stolen goods voluntarily and recovering stolen goods. Voluntary return of stolen goods means that criminals voluntarily return stolen goods, and recovery means that public security organs forcibly recover stolen goods, and the latter is subject to lighter punishment.
