O le a le tau o se loia solitulafono i Netherlands?

Afai ua pu'eina oe po'o se tasi o lou aiga i Netherlands, o le tau o se loia puipuia e masani lava o le fesili lona lua lea, pe a uma le "o le a le mea e tupu i le isi taimi?". O le tali e fa'alagolago i le tagata e totogi. O le faiga fa'atulafonoina a Netherlands e iai se fuafuaga a loia e totogi e otometi lava ona o'o atu i se tagata ua taofia ma e leai se totogi a le ua masalomia, ma fesoasoani fa'aletulafono e aofia ai le tele o mataupu fa'atulafonoina. O lenei tusiga e fa'amatalaina ai auala ta'itasi, mea e aofia ai, ma po'o a tau e mafai lava ona tu'uina e le setete i lau pili.

O le ata o le tau i se vaaiga puupuu

E lima mea eseese e mafai ona aliali mai i se tulafono tau puipuiga o solitulafono. E pulea ia mea e tulafono eseese, o lea ia tuu eseese.

E tasi le mea e le o aliali mai: e leai se totogifuapauina o le faamasinoga (griffierecht) mo lē ua molia i se mataupu tau solitulafono. O totogifuapauina o le faamasinoga e patino i taualumaga tau le va o tagata ma le pulega.

Pu'eina: le fuafuaga a le loia tiute (piket)

Auala e faafesootaʻi atu ai se loia ia te oe e aunoa ma lou valaʻauina o se tasi

O le Tulafono o Taualumaga Tau Solitulafono (Wetboek van Strafvordering) e tuʻuina atu ai i tagata uma e masalomia le aia tatau e fesoasoani i ai se loia, i le mataupu 28. Mo se tagata ua taofia, o lena aia tatau e faʻamaonia e ala i se tiute faʻasilasilaga: i lalo o le mataupu 28b e logoina e leoleo le Komiti Fesoasoani Tau Tulafono (Raad voor Rechtsbijstand) o loʻo taofia se tagata e masalomia, ma tofia e le Komiti se loia mai le lisi o tiute. O le fuafuaga piket lea. E te le tau iloa le igoa o se loia, tautala i le gagana Holani, pe iai ni tupe i lau teugatupe: ua mamanuina e aoga pe a leai sau mea faapena.

Two rights follow. Under article 28c a detained suspect may consult a lawyer before the first police interview, for up to thirty minutes. Under article 28d the lawyer may attend interviews and intervene during them. A lawyer cannot answer questions for you, but can explain your right to remain silent and object if pressure is applied; we set out how that works in practice in our article on arrest and police questioning.

O lenei fesoasoani muamua e leai se totogi mo lē ua masalomia: e totogi e le setete le loia o loʻo tiute. Afai e puʻeina oe ma taofia, pe e te i lalo ifo o le 18 tausaga, pe masalomia i se solitulafono matuia, o le a lē totogiina oe e le loia muamua.

O a mea e le aofia ai le piket

O le Piket o se puipuiga fa'afuase'i mo le vaega o le taofia o tagata, ae le o se sui mo le mataupu atoa. E aofia ai le feutagaiga a'o le'i faia le fa'atalatalanoaga, le auai i fa'atalatalanoaga a leoleo ma vaega muamua o le taofia, ma fa'ai'u pe a mae'a ona taulimaina e le fa'amasino su'esu'e le talosaga e taofia oe i le falepuipui (le vordering tot beware). A mae'a lena, e tatau ona ave le mataupu i se tofiga talafeagai pe fa'alilolilo.

E lua isi tapula'a e tāua. O le loia e tiute o le tagata lava lea o lo'o i luga o le lisi o tagata o lo'o i le po lea: e te le'i filifilia i latou ma e te le tau taofia i latou. Ma afai e te le'i taofia ae na'o le vala'aulia i se fa'atalatalanoaga o se tagata e masalomia, e masani lava e le fa'aoga le piket, o lea e masani ona e fa'atulaga ma totogia se loia oe lava se'i vagana ua e agava'a mo se fesoasoani fa'aletulafono.

Loia ua tofia pe loia e te filifilia

O faiga fa'a-Holani e fa'avasega le va o le toegevoegde raadsman , o se loia ua tofia e le Komiti Fesoasoani Fa'aletulafono, ma le gekozen raadsman , o se loia e te a'oa'oina oe lava. O le eseesega e fa'atatau i le auala na amata ai ona gaoioi le loia, ae le o le tulaga lelei o le puipuiga po'o le pule a le loia. E tutusa uma le avanoa e maua ai e i la'ua le faila, le aia tatau e auai i fa'atalanoaga ma fa'amasinoga, ma tiute tutusa ia te oe.

O le manatu e masani ona misia e tagata faavaomalo, o le fefiloi lea o vaega e lua. E mafai foi e se loia e te filifilia oe lava ona galue i se tofiga: afai e te filifilia se kamupani ona e aoga i le Igilisi, e mafai e lena kamupani ona talosaga i le Komiti Faatino mo se toevoeging mo oe, pe afai ua resitalaina i le Komiti Faatino ma e te ausia tuutuuga. O le filifilia o lau lava loia e le faapea ai ua e lafoaia le fesoasoani faaletulafono ua lagolagoina.

E mafai fo'i ona e sui. Afai e alu atu se loia o lo'o tiute i le ofisa o leoleo ma e te mana'o e fa'atonuina se isi tagata mo le autu o le mataupu, e faia e le loia fou le tofiga. O le fa'atapula'aina o le taimi, ae le o le mataupu fa'avae, o lea e vave fa'alauiloa ai.

Fesoasoani faaletulafono fa'atupeina: le toevoeging

O fesoasoani faaletulafono ua faatupeina e faalagolago i luga o le Tulafono o Fesoasoani Faaletulafono (Wet op de rechtsbijstand), lea e taulimaina ai mataupu tau solitulafono i totonu o lana lava mataupu, mataupu 43 i le 44a. Afai e tuuina atu se tofiga, e totogi e le Komiti Faatino lau loia se aofaiga tumau e fuafuaina mai se faiga o togi ma e te totogia le tele o se saofaga patino. O le tau o togi ma togi mo ituaiga mataupu taitasi e faatulaga e tulafono faatonutonu ma faasino i tausaga taitasi, o le mafuaaga lea e maua ai e kamupani e lua i le tofiga e tasi le totogifuapauina tutusa.

O le suega o le saoasaoa ma le tausaga fa'asino

Eligibility is tested on income and capital, and on a past year rather than on what you earn today. The reference year (peiljaar) is the second calendar year before the year of the application, and the Board takes your taxable income (feso'ota'iga fa'atasi) and your box 3 capital for that year directly from tax authority data.

The income and capital ceilings are not in the Legal Aid Act itself. They are fixed in the Besluit eigen bijdrage rechtsbijstand, adjusted every 1 January and published by the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand on its own website, so look them up for the year in which you apply rather than relying on a figure quoted in an article. Separate, higher ceilings apply where you have a partner or are a single parent.

If your income has fallen sharply since the reference year, you can ask for it to be moved to the current year. This is peiljaarverlegging, and the request must reach the Board within six weeks of the first decision, a short deadline that is easy to miss while a criminal case is running.

O le tuusaunoaga e sili ona tāua i mataupu tau solitulafono

O le vaega lea e suia ai le ata mo le toatele o tagata ua taofia. I le tele o mataupu tau solitulafono, e tuuina atu se tofiga e aunoa ma se suega o tupe. Afai ua taofia se tagata ua masalomia ma taofia, o le tofiga e mulimuli mai i le taofia lava ia nai lo se iloiloga tau tupe. E faapena foi pe afai e talosagaina e le loia a le malo po o le faamasinoga le Komiti Faatino e tuuina atu se tasi.

O le taunuuga moni, o se tagata ua masalomia ua matuā tele naua tupe mo se fesoasoani faaletulafono i se teteaga e mafai lava ona fai ma sui i se tofiga i se mataupu tau solitulafono, auā o le taofia a’o le’i faia le faamasinoga e mafua ai lea tulaga e tusa lava po o le a le tupe maua. O le vaega e aofia ai le Tulafono Fesoasoani Faaletulafono (Wet op de rechtsbijstand): o le mataupu 43 e aofia ai tofiga a loia ma tofiga e faia e le faamasinoga po o le talosaga a le loia lava ia, ia e tuuina atu e aunoa ma se suega o tupe maua, ae o le mataupu 44 e aofia ai le tofiga masani, lea e iloiloina ai tupe maua ma tupe faavae. O le a ta’u atu e lau loia ia te oe i le fonotaga muamua po o le a le faavae e faaaoga i ai.

Le saofaga a le tagata lava ia (eigen bijdrage)

Where legal aid is granted on the ordinary route, you pay a personal contribution. It is not a percentage of the lawyer fee: it is a flat amount set by band, with the band determined by your income in the reference year, so that the lowest incomes pay the smallest contribution and the highest income still within the ceiling pays the largest. The bands and the amounts are set in the Besluit eigen bijdrage rechtsbijstand, indexed each 1 January and published by the Raad voor Rechtsbijstand; a different, lower scale applies where you first take advice from the Juridisch Loket.

I mataupu tau solitulafono e masani ona leai se sao. E leai se tasi e molia pe afai ua talosagaina e le loia a le malo po o le faamasinoga le Komiti Faatino e tuuina atu se tofiga, ma o le fesoasoani a loia i le taimi o le vaavaaiga a leoleo ( inverzekeringstelling ) e tuusaunoa mai se sao patino. O tulaga e sili ona fefefe ai tagata i le pili e masani lava o tulaga ia e sili ona laitiiti.

O se sao ua totogiina e lē o taimi uma e leiloa ai. Afai e i’u le mataupu i se fa’asalaga po’o se fa’ai’uga e lē molia ( sepot ), o se sao ua totogiina e le ua molia e mafai ona toe maua mai le setete e ala i se talosaga i lalo o le mataupu 530 Sv, fa’atasi ai ma isi tau o le mataupu (tagai i lalo). I le fa’amasinoga lautele, pe a fa’atonuina le isi itu e totogi au tau fa’aletulafono, e mafai ona toe maua mai le sao pe fa’aitiitia nai lo le totogiina e oe.

Totogi faalilolilo

I tua atu o le fesoasoani faaletulafono, e totogiina le puipuiga tau solitulafono i se tasi o auala e tolu, o nisi taimi e tuufaatasi.

• Totogi i le itula. O le faʻataʻitaʻiga sili ona taatele. O le fua faatatau e atagia ai le tulaga sinia ma le tomai faapitoa, ma e faaopoopo le VAT mo tagata faatau tumaoti. O tupe faaalu e pei o faamatalaupu, lipoti a tagata tomai faapitoa ma femalagaaiga e totogi i luga.
• Totogi tumau. Ofo atu mo galuega ua manino lelei le tapula'a: auai i se fa'atalatalanoaga a leoleo, se iloiloga e tasi i luma o le faipule, se tete'e i se poloaiga fa'asalaga. E aoga pe a mafai ona vavaloina le lautele, ma e masani ona ta'ua i la'asaga ta'itasi nai lo le mataupu atoa.
• Totogi fa'aagaga pe totogi muamua. E masani ona talosagaina e kamupani se totogi i luga o le teugatupe a'o le'i amataina galuega fa'asolitulafono e totogi tumaoti, e fa'atatau i pili vaelua. O se faiga masani lea, e fa'atonutonuina e tulafono fa'apolofesa.

O le mea e mafua ai le telē o se pili puipuiga mo solitulafono e seasea lava ona mafua mai i le totogi i le itula; ae o le tele o galuega. O se faila e faitau afe itulau, faʻamatalaga tau fesoʻotaʻiga poʻo tupe e manaʻomia ona iloiloina, talosaga i le faʻamasino suʻesuʻe e faʻalogo i molimau, se lipoti o le mafaufau, se faʻamasinoga e tele aso, se apili, se faʻaliliu upu i fonotaga taʻitasi: e faʻateleina itula e lua. E faʻapea foʻi le taofia, aua o asiasiga i falepuipui e alu ai le taimi ma femalagaaʻiga.

Fesili i le faavae o le totogifuapauina i le tusi a'o le'i faatonuina se tasi. E tatau i se loia Holani ona tuuina atu ia te oe se tusi faamau e faamatala ai le fua faatatau po o le totogifuapauina, mea e aofia ai ma le auala e taulimaina ai tupe faaalu, ma e tatau ona ta'u atu ia te oe pe e te agavaa mo se tofiga.

Tau e mafai ona fa'ae'e e le setete

O le faʻasalaga, poʻo le taliaina o se poloaiga faʻasalaga, e mafai ona i ai ni aʻafiaga tau tupe e sili atu nai lo lau lava loia.

• Fa'asalaga tupe ma poloaiga fa'asalaga. A fine imposed by a court, or by the prosecution service in a penalty order (strafbeschikking), is collected by the Central Judicial Collection Agency (CJIB).
• Totogi fa'apulega ma totogi o le aoina o tupe. The CJIB adds a fixed administrative charge to each fine it collects and applies statutory increases if you pay late. The charge is set by regulation and adjusted periodically; the current amount is stated on the payment notice and on the CJIB website. For traffic fines under the Wahv the first increase is 50% of the fine and the second a further 100%, so a fine left unpaid can end up at several times its original size.
• Taui i se tagata ua a'afia. A court can order a convicted person to compensate a victim’s loss as a measure enforced by the state (art. 36f Sr), so the victim need not sue separately. Under the advance payment scheme the state steps in eight months after the measure becomes enforceable, pays the victim what is still outstanding and then pursues the offender for it. For offences of violence and sexual offences the advance is the full amount, with no ceiling; for offences against property it is capped at a maximum that is fixed by regulation and indexed, and is published by the Centraal Justitieel Incassobureau.
• O se sao lautele i tau o le faiga faʻamasinoga tau solitulafono. Proposals to make convicted persons contribute to the cost of their own prosecution and to victim services have been put forward more than once, but no general bijdrage kosten strafvordering en slachtofferzorg has ever entered into force, so nothing of that kind is charged.

Toe maua mai o au tupe faaalu pe a uma ona faasaolotoina pe faateaina

Afai e muta lau mataupu e aunoa ma se faasalaga, e ala i le faasaolotoina pe ona ua faaleaogaina, e mafai ona e talosaga i le faamasinoga mo se taui. E lua aiaiga o le Tulafono o Taualumaga Tau Solitulafono e faatino le galuega: mataupu 530, e aofia ai tau o lau loia ma isi tau o le mataupu, ma le mataupu 533, e aofia ai le taimi na faaaluina i le taofia a o lei faia le faamasinoga.

E tatau ona faia le talosaga i totonu o le tolu masina talu ona maeʻa le mataupu. E faia le faaiuga e le faamasinoga na taulimaina le mataupu, i luga o se talosaga tusitusia e saunia e lau loia. O mea e mafai ona fai e aofia ai totogifuapauina a loia, tupe faaalu i femalagaaiga, ma mea ua faaleagaina ma mea e le o ni mea e faaleagaina e pei o tupe maua ua leiloa. E galulue faamasinoga ma aofaiga masani i aso taitasi mo le taofia, lolomiina i totonu o nofoaga e faasino i ai faasalaga ma ua faailogaina mai le aso 1 o Ianuari 2026.

E lua tapula'a e tāua le iloa. E lē otometi le taui: e fuafua e le fa'amasinoga le mea talafeagai ma e ono tu'uina atu se totogi e itiiti ifo nai lo le mea na fai mai ai, pe leai fo'i se mea. Ma e leai se mea e maua mo le vaitaimi tonu lava talu ona pu'e fa'apagota oe i le taimi na taofia ai oe mo le fesiligia.

Inisiua tupe alu faaletulafono

E tele aiga e umia inisiua o tupe faaalu faaletulafono (rechtsbijstandverzekering), e masani ona tuufaatasi ma le inisiua o le fale po o le taavale. I mataupu tau solitulafono e gata lona aoga: e masani ona le aofia ai i inisiua solitulafono faamoemoeina ma e na o mataupu e faavae i le faatamala e aofia ai, e masani lava o mataupu tau feoaiga i luga o le auala. Siaki tulaga a o lei faatonuina se tasi, aua e masani lava ona le toe totogiina e le au inisiua tau na mafua ai a o lei logoina le tagi.

Afai e tali atu se inisiua ma ua oo atu le mataupu i se faamasinoga, e tuuina atu e le tulafono a Europa ma Holani i se tagata ua inisiua le aia tatau e filifili ai lana lava loia, e tatau i le kamupani inisiua ona totogi lana pili i totonu o tapulaa o le inisiua. Afai e te manaʻo e faʻaaoga se kamupani e te filifilia nai lo le tautua a le kamupani inisiua i totonu, ia fai mai i le amataga.

ā Law & More mafai ona fai

The most expensive decision in a criminal case is usually made in the first hours, before anyone has discussed money: what you say in the police interview. Law & More acts for suspects from the first interview through to trial and appeal, applies for a legal aid assignment where one is available, and quotes in writing where it is not. If you are unsure whether your case even needs a lawyer, our article on when you need a criminal defence lawyer is a sensible starting point. Contact us before you are questioned, not after.
