New Criminal Procedure Law details
It is permissible to settle disputes in certain violations and misdemeanors that are not necessarily punishable by imprisonment for more than 6 months, according to the new Criminal Procedure Law, which is set to come into effect in October. The amount for settlement is determined based on the timing of the payment: before the lawsuit is filed, the defendant pays one-third of the maximum fine; after the lawsuit is filed and before the judgment, they pay two-thirds of the maximum or the minimum fine—whichever is higher. Once the payment is made, the criminal case is considered closed, and the settlement is approved by a special committee and presented to the Council of Ministers for approval, thereby ending the case in all its aspects. Additionally, implementing the penalties can be suspended if the settlement occurs before the final ruling or even afterward if the convicted person is in custody.
