denunciation

Usage Note

Denuncia (also spelled denunzia) specifically refers to a formal report filed with police or a prosecutor — closer to 'criminal complaint' or 'report' than a generic complaint. Fare/presentare una denuncia means to file a report. Do not use denuncia for a general complaint; use lamentela or reclamo for that.

Examples

"Ha presentato una denuncia alla polizia."

Natural Translation

She filed a report with the police.
