Cybercrime in Cagliari — protection for foreign nationals
Complaint, investigation and compensation for foreign victims of cybercrime in the province of Cagliari
Protection for foreign nationals who are victims of cybercrime in Cagliari
A foreign national who has been the victim of a cybercrime — including identity theft, phishing, unauthorised access to computer systems, or online fraud — perpetrated from or connected to Cagliari may file a criminal complaint with the Italian authorities and pursue compensation within the criminal proceedings.
The firm drafts the complaint, coordinates with the Polizia Postale, assists in preserving digital evidence in a forensically sound manner, and constitutes the client as parte civile to pursue damages.
Where the victim has returned to their country of residence, the firm manages the entire procedure under power of attorney, ensuring that the client's absence from Italy does not prejudice the effectiveness of the legal action.
How to proceed — preliminary consultation
The first recommended step is to schedule a thirty-minute preliminary consultation, available in English, to assess the cybercrime circumstances, evaluate the available legal remedies, and determine the most effective course of action.
