据悉,最高人民法院近日向北京市高院下发了通知,该通知称,在道路上醉酒驾驶机动车的行为常见多发,各院应高度重视,具体追究刑事责任,应慎重稳妥。最高人民法院还要求各级法院,在收到案件后,对拟追究刑事责任的醉驾案件,尽量先向相关部门了解相关的具体案情,通过与检察机关沟通了解案件情节的轻重。 It is reported that the Supreme People’s Court recently issued a circular to the Beijing High Court that the drunk driving of motor vehicles on the road is common and should be given high priority. The investigation of specific criminal responsibilities should be conducted cautiously and safely. The Supreme People’s Court also requires courts at all levels to, after receiving the case, try their best to get to know the relevant specific cases about the drunk driving cases to be investigated for criminal responsibility as far as possible and to understand the severity of the case through communication with the procuratorial organs.
