I'm looking for an adequate English translation of the German adjective "gerichtspolizeilich" in the above-mentioned context.

Any comments are highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
I know that looks huge, but I am inclined to believe that it really is this... A "gerichtspolizeiliches Ermittlungsverfahren" seems to be a "normal" Ermittlungsverfahren (=preliminary proceedings) instituted in this case by the Swiss Federal Prosecuting Attorney('s Office). The "schweizirische Bundesanwaltschaft" institutes/opens socalled "gerichtspolizeiliche Ermittlungsverfahren" for federal crimes.

judiciary police


Explanation:
It seems that some countries have something called the judiciary police.
You could say : for damages sustained during/in the course of the judiciary police investigation

I don\'t think there is anything called judiciary police in the US system, but the term is used to describe the situation in other countries and I also found a definition:
3. Police has also been divided into administrative police, which has for its object to maintain constantly public order in every part of the general administration; and into *judiciary police*, which is intended principally to prevent crimes by punishing the criminals. Its object is to punish crimes which the administrative police has not been able to prevent.

neutral  Derek Gill Franßen: Could be...the words make sense, but no German speaking countries have a "judiciary police" (as far as I know). Please see my suggestion. :)

agree  AMuller: Sort of agree if this is used to in the context of a different country. I never heard this in Germany (West) for criminal investigation.
