What if the theft procuratorate doesn't prosecute?
Theft belongs to the scope of criminal law adjustment, not a civil act, so it can be autonomous by private law. Even if the victim knows it in writing, the procuratorate will initiate a public prosecution and transfer it to the court for conviction and sentencing. However, there are also cases of not prosecuting for theft. According to the law, in any of the following circumstances, non-prosecution shall be implemented: (1) the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, and it is not considered a crime; (two) the crime has passed the limitation period; (3) Being exempted from punishment by an amnesty order; (4) The criminal suspect is dead; (5) The criminal suspect has no criminal facts; (6) Where other laws provide for exemption from criminal responsibility, if the people's procuratorate still considers that the evidence is insufficient and does not meet the conditions for prosecution, it shall make a decision not to prosecute; If the circumstances of the crime are minor and it is not necessary to sentence or exempt from punishment according to the provisions of the Criminal Law, the people's procuratorate may make a decision not to prosecute. If the procuratorate or the victim does not prosecute, the court has no right to directly convict others. Legal basis: Article 16 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) shall not be investigated for criminal responsibility under any of the following circumstances. If the investigation has been concluded, the case shall be dismissed, or no prosecution shall be instituted, or the trial shall be terminated, or the case shall be declared innocent: (1) If the circumstances are obviously minor and the harm is not great, it shall not be considered as a crime; (two) the crime has passed the limitation period; (3) Being exempted from punishment by an amnesty order; (4) Failing to tell or withdrawing a crime that should be dealt with only after being told according to the Criminal Law; (5) The criminal suspect or defendant dies; (six) other laws and regulations shall be exempted from criminal responsibility.
