Spanish term or phrase: perseguible de oficio o por querella de parte
De oficio means that an offense is prosecutable as a matter of course, without the need for a complaint by the victim, as opposed to querella de parte, which means that the victim must file a complaint. How would I be able to say "de oficio" and "querella de parte" in good legal US English?

Thank you!

prosecutable by law or by private action
Explanation:
Depends where you're coming from. The "ex-officio" implication is that it may be acted on by the Public Prosecutor (The People vs.) or by a party that suffered damages.
