Fjelentés

Fjelentés is not a standard term in Hungarian legal vocabulary and is typically a misspelling or typographical error for the Hungarian word feljelentés. In practice, feljelentés refers to a formal report made to law enforcement authorities to initiate a criminal investigation or to allege that a crime has occurred. When encountered as fjelentés, the term should usually be corrected to feljelentés to avoid ambiguity.

Etymology and meaning: Feljelentés is composed of the prefix fel- and the noun jelentés, which comes from jelenteni, meaning “to report.” The combined form denotes the act of filing a report or complaint with authorities. The尼 noun feljelentés covers criminal complaints directed at the police or public prosecutor’s office and can concern a wide range of offenses.

Legal context and use: In Hungary, a feljelentés is typically filed by a victim, a witness, or sometimes a third party with information about alleged criminal activity. The report provides details such as the nature of the alleged crime, time and place, involved persons, and any supporting evidence. After a feljelentés is submitted, authorities assess whether to open an investigation. The act of filing must be truthful, and making a false report can carry legal consequences.
