| General Info | Advisory re: Crime | $0.00 | If you’re a victim of a crime, regardless of the nature, you should report it by making a formal complaint in person at the nearest prosecutor’s office (known as Ministerio Público or Fiscalía) before you leave the country. Insurance companies usually request a formal report before providing reimbursement. You should hire a local lawyer to represent your interests and follow up on your case after you return to Canada. Failure to do so may result in incomplete investigations or long delays in bringing cases to trial. | ||||
