Section 10. Immunity from Criminal Proceedings
Immunity from criminal proceedings completely or partially frees a person from participation in criminal proceedings, as well as from the provision of evidence and the issuance of documents and objects, and prohibits or restricts the right to perform the criminal prosecution of such person and to apply security measures against such person, as well as the right to enter and perform investigative actions on the premises in the possession of such person.
