Document background
The Fraud Complaint Letter is a crucial legal document used in Switzerland when an individual or organization needs to formally report fraudulent activities to authorities. This document type is essential for initiating criminal investigations and potential civil proceedings under Swiss law. The letter must contain detailed information about the alleged fraud, including chronological events, financial impacts, and supporting evidence. It should comply with requirements set forth in the Swiss Criminal Code and Civil Procedure Code. A properly drafted Fraud Complaint Letter is often the first step in seeking legal redress and can be submitted to various authorities depending on the nature of the fraud, including local police, cantonal prosecutors, or FINMA for financial sector fraud. The document serves as the foundation for subsequent legal proceedings and potential recovery of losses.
