Gyanúsítottnak

Gyanúsítottnak is a Hungarian legal term that translates to "suspect" or "accused" in English. It refers to a person against whom a criminal investigation is underway or who has been formally charged with committing a crime. The term signifies a stage in the legal process where there is probable cause to believe an individual may have violated criminal law.

In the Hungarian legal system, a person becomes a gyanúsított once the authorities have sufficient grounds to suspect their involvement in a criminal act. This can occur at various points, from the initial stages of an investigation based on evidence or witness testimony, to being formally named in an indictment. While a gyanúsított is not yet convicted, they are subject to certain legal procedures and rights.

Key aspects of being a gyanúsított include the right to legal counsel, the right to remain silent, and the right to be informed of the charges against them. The designation as gyanúsított allows law enforcement and prosecutors to gather further evidence, question the individual, and potentially detain them depending on the circumstances and severity of the alleged offense. The legal status of gyanúsított remains until charges are dropped, an acquittal is reached, or a conviction is secured.
