Article 88 of China's criminal law clearly stipulates the limitation of prosecution. After the public security organ files a case for investigation or the people's court accepts the case, it is not limited by the time limit for prosecution.
1, the statute of limitations as we know it.
Viewers who like to watch mystery films often encounter films in which detectives try their best to catch criminals and collect evidence to bring them to justice in some cases that are difficult to solve. There is no time limit for the detection of criminal cases in China. Some crimes take a long time, the modus operandi is extremely cunning, the anti-reconnaissance ability is strong, and the time interval is long. For example, the silver serial murder case took 14 years to be successfully detected, and the vicious criminals were finally severely punished by the law. Moreover, we have seen many foreign film and television dramas about the limitation of prosecution. For example, the limitation of prosecution in South Korea's homicide case is 25 years, and it was not until 20 15 years that this limitation of prosecution was changed to permanent prosecution, so that criminals will be arrested as long as they are alive and pay for their crimes! Criminal cases in our country have always been permanent prosecutions, and public security organs will not let them go after filing a case. If the case has not been handled after filing, it may be reported and accused to the people's police organs, people's procuratorates and administrative supervision organs.
2. Some concepts about filing a case.
Most of ordinary people's experience in solving such cases comes from film and television dramas. There will be a misunderstanding here. As long as a criminal case is filed, the public security organ will solve the case in a very short time. In fact, the truth is that unless it is a serious case, the detection rate of general criminal cases is relatively low, and not all cases can be solved. After all, the police force and financial resources of public security organs are limited, and there are many kinds of cases to be handled. Generally, criminal cases are solved by relatively limited personnel. Like those particularly serious cases, the police force invested is the best, whether it is the allocation of personnel or the use of various equipment. The efficiency of solving this case will definitely be higher, but this does not mean that the police will solve the case indefinitely, but it only means that the relative progress will be slower. However, if clues are found and suspects are found, the police will definitely try their best to solve the case.
3. You can also ask to know the progress after filing a case.
As for criminal cases, as long as the public security organs file a case, it means that someone has started to detect them. If the case is simple and the suspect has been found, then the public security organ may go through all the procedures in a month or two. If it is a major and complicated case, the time can't be controlled. But if you want to know the progress of the case, that is to say, which step the police have found, the informant can ask the public security organ. If it is found that the public security organ has not conducted investigation after filing a case, the informant can complain, but the informant and the victim cannot control the investigation time of the public security organ.
Of course, not all cases can be filed. For example, if the circumstances are very minor, there is no need to file a case, and the defendant is dead. Because filing a case means that the public security organs have to investigate and deal with it, the conditions for filing a case also need to be reviewed. The review period is limited, and the general filing review period shall not exceed 3 days in principle. With the popularization of information technology, public security organs have now realized the retrospective management of the whole process of receiving reports and filing cases. So a case can be searched online from filing to closing.
