JURISDICTION OF COURTS

2. Territorial Jurisdiction

Location where the Crime was Committed

Article 23

As a rule, the court within whose territory the criminal offence was committed or attempted has territorial jurisdiction.

Private prosecution may be instituted with a court within whose territory the defendant has permanent or temporary residence.

Where a criminal offence was committed or attempted within the territories of several courts or at the boundary between their territories, or where it is not certain in which territory it was committed or attempted, the court in whose territory criminal proceedings were first instituted has jurisdiction.
