Defence Memorandum
Explanation:
It is used when the defendant/accused provides a written statement before the investigating judge (ανακριτη). I have used this term several times. My opinion is that when translating legal documents, especially this type of documents, we have to be precise and should not allow ourselves too many liberties.

Thank you, mister!

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Dave Bindon: "απολογία και απολογιτικό υπόμνημα" are regularly referred to together in these circumstances, so the υπόμνημα needs to be clearly differentiated from any other response to the ανακρτιτή.
