Inicial Acusatória

Portuguese to English Law/Patents Law (general) Habeas Corpus
Gostaria de saber a melhor tradução, do português para o inglês, para a expressão "inicial acusatória" no seguinte contexto:
"A diretriz para a fixação dessa competência é dada pela denúncia; e, na hipótese em questão, a INICIAL ACUSATÓRIA aponta para a existência de formação de cartel por empresas do ramo XXX com atuação em todo o território brasileiro."
Já procurei esta expressão em todos os meus alfarrábios, mas não a encontrei.
Muito obrigada, desde já, pela sua valiosíssima contribuição!!

Complaint

Que eu saiba "inicial acusatória" é o mesmo que "queixa".

GLOSSARY




complaint

Papers filed with a court clerk by the plaintiff to initiate a lawsuit by setting out facts and legal claims (usually called causes of action). In some states and in some types of legal actions, such as divorce, complaints are called petitions and the person filing is called the petitioner. To complete the initial stage of a lawsuit, the plaintiff's complaint must be served on the defendant, who then has the opportunity to respond by filing an answer. In practice, few lawyers prepare complaints from scratch. Instead they use -- and sometimes modify -- pre-drafted complaints widely available in form books.

This defition is from the Nolo Legal Dictionary.
Just "complaint" is enough as you can see from the definition.
