will make you subject to questioning

The Cambridge dictionary says "liable" means to be responsible for something, such as errors, damages, improper activities. I think "to subject s.o./s.t. to something" might be a good translation for عرِّض ل.

examples:
http://www.nsba.org/site/doc_cosa.asp?TRACKID=&VID=50&CID=46...
"...Monica Llorente, a law professor at Northwestern University School of Law, the case ... expect to have a right to know if their child is subject to questioning.".

http://www.doj.state.wi.us/ss_manual/question.htm
"...resulting statements are subject to suppression under Miranda."

http://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/frisk.htm
"Anyone found in a "border area" is subject to search on reasonable suspicion..."
Peer comment(s):

agree Awad Balaish : Why did you ignore " legal" I mean how about legal questioning?

neutral Nesrin : Please see my suggested answer on the use of "liable to/for"

Yes, I agee with Nesrin that "to" would be the correct preposition to use with liable. As for "criminal proscecution", isn´t that "المقاضاة الجنائيّة"? Are "المقاضاة الجنائيّة" and "للمساءلة الجزائية" synonymous? (I have no clue)
neutral Randa Farhat : regarding your note, penal جزائي , criminal جنائي .. those who don't join compulsory service are not criminals, but are subject to penalty -although not under criminal law. no crime here!

Will be subject to criminal allegations

This is another way of expressing it depending on the general context.

subjects you to penal proceedings

"not reporting at the designated time and place subjects you to penal proceedings as per articles no. etc.."

[i.e: not reporting to compulsory military service subjects evading recruit to penalties... they are either fined and/or detained for a certain number of weeks in military confinement]
it is مساءلة جزائية، عقاب جزائي
not جنائية

makes you liable to criminal prosecution


- In response to Michael: "liable FOR" means, as he noted "Legally obligated; responsible" and shouldn't be used here, but "liable TO" means "At risk of or subject to experiencing or suffering something unpleasant", and its use is appropriate here.
- As to why I used "prosecution" although it is not a literal translation of مساءلة, that's because I BELIEVE that is what is intended. "Criminal questioning" doesn't really make much sense to me. Also (though that's not proof enough) a search on the internet for the phrase "liable to criminal prosecution" produces over 4000 results, so at least we know it's correct from a linguistic point of view.

if it\'s actually الجزائية not الجنائية, then it\'s \"liable to penal prosecution\", as Alaa suggests below.
