Vad betyder att ett brott preskriberas?
What does it mean that a crime becomes time-barred?
- 1Att straffet halveras efter en tidThat the sentence is halved after a time
- ✓Att åtal inte längre kan väckasThat charges can no longer be brought
- 3Att domen tas bort ur registretThat the conviction is erased from the register
- 4Att brottet blir en civil tvistThat the crime becomes a civil dispute
Correct answer: That charges can no longer be brought
After a certain time charges can no longer be brought. Murder and a few other very serious crimes never become time-barred.
