English translation
Anyone who has suffered harm as a result of the offence may bring an action asserting his civil right before the court hearing the criminal case, at any stage of the proceedings until pleadings are completed. In this case, he shall have the status of a joining claimant in the criminal case if it was instituted by another person. The civil claimant may claim his right during the preliminary investigation by an application submitted to the investigator, and shall be treated as a claimant party during the investigation.
