Нидерландад баривчлах: таны эрх ба цагдан хорих хугацаа

If you are arrested in the Netherlands, the police can hold you for investigation for up to nine hours, and the prosecutor can then order police custody of up to three days, extendable once by three days. The most important right at the start is the right to consult a lawyer before you are questioned and to have a lawyer present during questioning, under Articles 28 to 28e of the Dutch Code of Criminal Procedure (Wetboek van Strafvordering, Sv).

Цагдаа нар таныг хэзээ зогсоож, баривчилж болох вэ?

An arrest (aanhouding) takes one of two forms, depending on whether you were caught in the act.

If you are caught in the act, any person may detain you and hand you over to an officer, and an officer may arrest you without further authority (Article 53 Sv). If you are not caught in the act, an arrest is only possible for offences for which pre-trial detention (voorlopige hechtenis) is allowed (Article 54 Sv). It then requires the authority of a public prosecutor (officier van justitie) or an assistant prosecutor (hulpofficier van justitie).

Эхний хэдэн цагт юу болдог вэ?

Таныг байцаалтын газар, ихэвчлэн цагдаагийн хэлтэст аваачдаг. Тэнд прокурор эсвэл туслах прокурор таныг мөрдөн байцаалтад саатуулах эсэхийг шийддэг.

Under Article 56a Sv, this period lasts up to nine hours for offences that allow pre-trial detention and up to six hours for other offences. The hours between midnight and nine in the morning do not count, so in practice you can be held for up to 18 hours. During this period the police tell you which offence you are suspected of and give you the opportunity to consult a lawyer.

Та асуултанд хариулах ёстой юу?

No. Under Article 29 Sv you have the right to remain silent, and the police must tell you this before questioning begins. Staying silent is a right, not an admission. What you must do is show a valid identity document when the police lawfully ask for it.

Цагдаагийн цагдан хорих байранд хэр удаан саатуулж болох вэ?

If the investigation needs more time, the prosecutor can order police custody (inverzekeringstelling) for up to three days (Article 58 Sv). In cases of urgent necessity, this can be extended once by another three days.

Within a few days of your arrest you are brought before the examining magistrate (rechter-commissaris), as Article 59a Sv requires. The examining magistrate assesses whether your arrest and custody were lawful and can order your release.

Хэрэв цагдан хорих ажиллагаа үргэлжилсээр байвал юу болох вэ?

Detention can then continue in two further stages, both ordered by the courts. The first is remand in custody (bewaring) of up to fourteen days, ordered by the examining magistrate (Article 64 Sv). After that, a three-judge chamber of the district court (raadkamer) can order continued detention (gevangenhouding) of up to ninety days (Article 66 Sv).

In total, pre-trial detention before the trial starts can therefore last up to 110 days. During that time the case is reviewed at pro forma hearings, where your lawyer can ask for your release or for further investigation.

Юу хийх ёстой вэ, юунаас зайлсхийх хэрэгтэй вэ?

Ask for a lawyer straight away and do not answer questions about the facts before you have spoken to one. Your first statement stays in the file for the rest of the case.

• Танаас асуухад өөрийн хувийн мэдээллээ өгнө үү.
• Уншаагүй эсвэл санал нийлэхгүй байгаа мэдэгдэлдээ гарын үсэг зурж болохгүй. Та залруулга хийх эрхтэй.
• Note the times: when you were arrested, when you were questioned and when you saw a lawyer. A breach of the time limits in Articles 56a and 58 Sv can lead to release.
• If you are a foreign national, ask for your consulate to be informed (Article 36 of the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations) and for an interpreter if you do not understand Dutch.

Таныг суллагдсаны дараа хэрэг дуусах уу?

Not necessarily. The public prosecutor decides on prosecution, and that decision may follow weeks or months later. It can be a summons, a penalty order (strafbeschikking) or a dismissal.
