German term or phrase: Abtrennungsverfügung
Ich soll 5 Personen wegen Verstoßes gegen das BtMG und eine Person wegen bandenmäßiger Hehlerei vor dem AG verklagen. Wie ausgeführt handelt es sich jeweils um zwei verschiedene Gesetzesverstoße, die eigentlich kaum etwas zusammen haben. Lediglich kennen sich die Angeschuldigten teilweise untereinander. Ist in einem solchen Fall eine Abtrennungsverfügung angebracht?Wie baue ich die Konkretisierung auf, erfolgen jeweils zwei seperate Konkretisierungen oder werde ich nach dem Verstoß gegen das BtMG integriert die Hehlereivorwürfe erwähnen?

Separation / disjunction / detachment order?

Order for severance of (the AmE > charges BrE + OzE > counts in) a trial indictment


Explanation:
Severance: another way of describing the scenario of separate trials.

Predictable ProZ comment: 'what's the difference?'.

Example sentence(s):
  • UK: A judge had been right to refuse severance of a defendant’s indictment for attempted murder from his indictment for murder.

neutral  writeaway: if the asker is on the plain English bandwagon, this won't fly
1 hr
  -> I assume my answer is not the first time you have learned of 'severance of an indictment'. If not, perhaps you can be more constructive and explain whether the German means that or separate trials.
neutral  gangels (X): no such thing as "trial indictment". Indictment followed by trial
3 hrs
  -> I prefixed indictment with trial for the very reason that the former term was likely to be queried - out of sheer ignorance of criminal trial procedure http://www.lawteacher.net/lecture-notes/english-legal-system...

Reference: Abtrennung(sverfügung)

Reference information:
To help clarify what an "Abtrennungsverfügung" is:

"Gegenstand eines Js-Verfahrens können eine Straftat oder mehrere Straftaten, eine Person oder mehrere Beschuldigte sein. Dies ist eine Frage der Zweckmäßigkeit im Einzelfall. Personen oder Teile eines Sachverhalts können durch eine Abtrennungsverfügung in ein neues Js-Verfahren gebracht werden. Mit einer Verbindung könnenmehrere Js-Verfahren zusammengeführt werden. Hierbei muss ein führendes Aktenzeichen bestimmt werden; das andere geht unter. Die nichtführende Akte ist aufzulösen und in den führenden Vorgang zu integrieren."

Incidentally, here's a reference that mentions the BtMG somewhere:

"Wie unter Ziffer 1.1 mitgeteilt, begründete die Staatsanwaltschaft ihre Abtrennungsverfügung mit Anklageerhebung lediglich mit dem Formulartext, dass eine gemeinsame Fortführung der Verfahren 'unzweckmäßig' sei."
