A property damage complaint concerns the
accusation of intentionally damaging or destroying
someone else’s property. This includes, for
example, scratched cars, damaged doors, graffiti,
or deliberately destroyed objects.
The decisive factor is whether there is actually more than a minor and not merely temporary impairment. Only intentional actions are punishable. Negligent damage generally does not lead to criminal prosecution, but it may result in civil law claims. After a complaint is filed, the police or public prosecutor’s office examines the initial suspicion. If you receive a summons as an accused person, questions quickly arise: Do I have to appear? Should I say anything? Which evidence matters? Could fines or an entry in the criminal record (DE) or criminal record extract (CH) follow?
