Law (general)
Se trata de un documento donde se exponen los argumentos para solicitar la extradición de una persona en el extranjero debido a un supuesto delito cometido en este país (Argentina). La caratula es "Robo calificado por el uso de arma de fuego en grado de tentativa en concurso real con el delito de homicidio criminis causa y homicidio criminis causa en grado de tentativa".
Después de exponer todos los hechos aparece esta frase: el Sr. Fiscal, procedió a **promover acción penal** en contra de XXX
Estoy dudando sobre la traducción, ¿podrá ser "criminally prosecute"? ¿o "prosecute"?
Desde ya muchas gracias.

bring a criminal prosecution (case)
ProZ glossary entry: promover incidentes > 'iniciate' incidental procedings or motion = bring interlocutory or interim application / (AmE) motions.
Instigate is misleading as connotes and denotes putting someone else up to prosecute, whereas 'promover' means it is the prosecutor who takes the initiative.

It is. Perhaps you, Chris, on the strength of criminal law practice or g/hits, can supply any refs. Mine suggest the crime itself is instigated http://south-floridaattorney.com/what-are-the-criminal-charg...

Agree, yes, thanks Allegro!...and for that matter, neither does he! He only does it for reasons of oneupmanship, and personal animosity.

to bring a criminal action
The District Attorney (Prosecutor/prosecuting attorney), proceeded to bring a criminal action against (the defendant).
Explanation:
The filing of a criminal complaint by another individual is essentially a petition to the district attorney asking him/her to initiate charges.
The plaintiff's lawyer must decide where to file the case. The government may decide to dismiss a case or be ordered to do so by a court. If not dismissed, a criminal action is brought by the government (society) to determine whether the accused individual committed the unlawful act and to determine the guilty person’s punishment.
Código Procesal Penal Federal de Argentina
El Ministerio Público Fiscal tiene a su cargo la investigación de los delitos y la promoción de la acción penal pública contra los autores o partícipes.

Action: An action refers to a judicial proceeding. If a party brings a civil or criminal case against you, an action has been brought against you. The party bringing the action is the plaintiff /prosecution respectively.

Criminal charges are brought against a person in one of three ways:
1. Through an indictment voted by a grand jury.
2. Through the filing of an information by the prosecuting attorney (also called the county, district, or state's attorney) alleging that a crime was committed. Sometimes charges are pressed through the filing of a criminal complaint by another individual, which is essentially a petition to the district attorney asking him/her to initiate charges.
3. Through a citation by a police officer for minor traffic offenses and the like. This procedure is usually used for certain petty misdemeanors and other minor criminal matters.
A criminal action is brought by the government (society) to determine whether the accused individual committed the unlawful act and to determine the guilty person’s punishment.

Criminal Cases
A criminal case is a lawsuit brought by the state against a person who has broken a criminal law. They are usually filed by the district attorney (also called the "DA"), which represents the state, against 1 or more defendants. Only the state, not another person or company, can bring criminal charges against you. The penalty for being found guilty of a crime is jail or prison time or a fine (or both).
