The flow of criminal cases

The criminal case flow is as follows. The first is the investigation stage, in which the public security organs extract evidence and investigate relevant facts. Secondly, the stage of examination and prosecution, the procuratorate examines whether the evidence and facts of the public security organs are sufficient, and the insufficient ones can be returned. Finally, in the trial stage, the procuratorate will sue the cases that have passed the examination to the court, and the court will hear and judge them. For a case of private prosecution, the victim first brings a lawsuit to the people's court, then the case is tried by the people's court, and finally it is handed over to the executing organ for execution.
