What kind of assistance does the Victim and Witness Support Service at the Ministry of Justice and Public Administration provide?

There are several direct types of support victims can request from this Division: to be notified about the release of the convict from prison and to determine the attitude of the victim towards the committed criminal offence, which is taken into account when deciding on granting privileges to prisoners.

Moreover, the Division provides support to victims and witnesses summoned through international legal assistance (informative letters). Additionally, it handles cases of financial compensation to victims of crimes committed with intent.
