Italian term or phrase: Denuncia con istanza di punizione
Hello!

I'm trying to render the expression "denuncia con istanza di punizione" into British English. It's an excerpt from a criminal report.

Thanks in advance for your help.

(crim. E&W) laying of an information (Scots: making of a complaint) with recommended penalty
Explanation:
Complaint is US and plaint in E&W for a civil claim & Scots for a criminal charge .

Generally, unless a private prosecution, private citizens in E&W as opposed to the police vs. Canada cannot 'lay an information' before a magistrate or JP = Justice of the Peace or seek out the punishment, length of sentence or even recommend a fixed penalty. The latter is the job of the magistrate (Scots: sheriff).

But there is no reason why the terminology cannot be used as a 'fuzzy match' for the Italian process.

I am afraid my attempts to copy a laying of info. weblink won't work.
