Criminal action must be instituted by filing a formal complaint or charge with the appropriate law enforcement agency or prosecutor's office. This typically involves gathering evidence and information about the alleged crime, after which the authorities may conduct an investigation. If sufficient evidence is found, the prosecutor can file charges in court, initiating the criminal proceedings against the accused. The process varies by jurisdiction but generally follows established legal protocols to ensure due process.
