The Danish Criminal Procedure is governed by the Danish Administration of Justice Act, which outlines the steps for investigating and prosecuting crimes. It emphasizes the rights of the accused, ensuring they have access to legal representation and a fair trial. The process includes stages such as investigation, indictment, and trial, with a focus on transparency and efficiency. In Denmark, criminal cases are typically handled by district courts, and serious offenses may be escalated to high courts. The system promotes the principle of legality, meaning that no one can be punished without a law defining the offense.
