The suspect in the fraud case has been caught. How long will it take to close the case?

According to the law, it takes about five months for a criminal suspect to be detained and sentenced by the court, and generally it doesn't take that long. If the evidence is insufficient, the case can be dismissed. This will increase the time by about four months at most.

For fraud cases, the law does not clearly stipulate the time to solve the case, nor can it be stipulated, because the circumstances of the case are different. If a criminal suspect is arrested after the case is detected, if the criminal suspect is detained or arrested, the investigation shall be terminated within two months and transferred to the procuratorate. The procuratorate examines and prosecutes for one month, and if it thinks that it is suspected of committing a crime, it brings a lawsuit to the court, and the court hears the judgment for two months.

Article 169 The People's Procuratorate shall make a decision on a case transferred for prosecution by the public security organ within one month, and may extend it by half a month for major and complicated cases.
