What to do in case of damage after scooter theft?

Questioner

3 weeks ago my scooter was stolen. This happened at school. That the same day the perpetrator was arrested while on my scooter. The perpetrator is suspected of receiving stolen goods and not of theft. My scooter was stolen after a week got it back, completely broken. The damage is 1600 euros. I have inserted into the criminal proceedings and the necessary documents provided. The The officer had to have all documents in by April 9. Because the theft happened at school I feel very unsafe. The police won't tell me who the perpetrator is. How can I find out? come? Is this even possible? The perpetrator will probably not appear in court. This means that a settlement will take place in which the perpetrator will compensate the damage and have to pay a possible fine. How long will it take before I hear what is the statement of the public prosecutor? And is there a possibility that I join the audience in the courtroom? In order to still have the appearance of to be able to see the suspect?

Lawyer

In your case, there will be a OM settlement. This means that the public prosecutor offers the suspect a transaction or a penalty order. A penalty order can consist of, among other things, a community service order or a fine, but also of the obligation to compensate the victim for the damage. It is customary for the officer to offer this to the suspect during a TOM hearing (this is a hearing at the Public Prosecution Service, without a judge being involved). These hearings are in principle closed. This means that the victim may not be present. I hope I have informed you sufficiently.

You have the right to be kept informed by the police and the public prosecutor. If a settlement is offered, you may not be present, but you may file a claim for compensation. You can ask the public prosecutor if a conversation with the suspect is possible.
