Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for your inquiry!

From a general perspective, slander as a crime is considered a misdemeanour which is subject to the statute of limitation of three months from the date of the victim's acknowledgement of the crime.

However, article 10 of the criminal procedural code conditioned that the victim or his/her representatives only have the right to file the criminal complaint against the suspect.

Yet, your employer might take another legal action against you.

Best regards
