A. Dear Client,

You have the option to enter into a settlement before the Criminal Court, including an agreement outlining the terms of repayment. This settlement could grant you the liberty to pursue criminal proceedings if the remaining amount is not paid as per the agreed-upon schedule. This approach allows for a negotiated resolution while preserving the option to escalate the matter legally if the terms of the settlement are not met.
