If the court has issued an order on temporary protection against violence and the perpetrator has violated this order, he or she may become criminally responsible.
To be held liable under the Criminal Law, the perpetrator does not have to commit an actual act of violence, but if the perpetrator violates any of the restrictions or obligations set out by the decision on protection against violence, then it is considered a crime.
example The perpetrator comes closer to the victim’s residence than the distance specified in the court’s decision or communicates with the victim either by calling, texting or through other people if such prohibitions are set out by the court’s decision on temporary protection.
Such violation of the order (decision) is punishable, in more severe cases even by the perpetrator’s deprivation of liberty.
