Date:	23.03.2020
Force of law:	-

Summary:	W.________ has filed a criminal complaint with the Ministère public de larrondissement de Lausanne against X.________ for trespassing and threatening. Ministère public dismissed the complaint because it did not see sufficient evidence of a criminal offence. W.________ has lodged an appeal against the rejection. The Chambre des recours pénale approved the appeal and rejected the case to the Ministère public. The Ministère public must now decide whether to bring charges against X.________. More detailed summary: W.________ filed a criminal complaint against X.________ on February 10, 2020. She accused X.________ of entering her apartment against her will on February 2, 2020 and threatening her. Ministère public dismissed the complaint on 14 February 2020. It came to the conclusion that the evidence was too thin to prove a crime. W.________ has lodged an appeal against the rejection. The Chambre des recours pénale approved the recourse on March 23, 2020. She came to the conclusion that the evidence was sufficient to justify a crime. The Chambre des recours pénale has rejected the case to the Ministère public. The Ministère public must now decide whether to bring charges against X.________. Explaination: Trespassing is punishable in Switzerland if a person illegally enters an apartment or other building. Threatening is punishable in Switzerland if a person threatens another person with a crime or an evil. The Chambre des recours pénale is a court that decides on appeals against decisions of the public prosecutor's office. I hope this summary is helpful.
