The link between tax law and economic criminal cases

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
I was summoned as a suspect – what should I do immediately?
The most important thing is the strategic handling of statements and document review. It is worth coordinating the direction of defense and the evidence in advance.
I am being heard as a witness – do I need a lawyer?
In certain cases it is expressly justified, because the content of a witness statement may significantly affect the later course of the proceedings. Precise knowledge of a witness's rights and obligations is therefore essential.
What does the risk of asset seizure / attachment mean?
For certain offenses, the authority may apply security measures. In such cases, a quick legal response and motion may be necessary.
What is the typical evidentiary question in economic crimes?
