Dutch term or phrase:"...overleggen richting justitie..."
Context: Annula Report
Specifically:
Following a section in the text where it has stated how many organised criminal groups were apprehended nationwide for theft in 2004
Door gezamenlijke bewijslast te overleggen richting justitie werden hier positieve resultaten gehaald in het schade verhaal.
Try as I may at this late hour, I can't get my head around what the introductory section is saying here (and should be able to) - is it in the sense of coming to some arrangement with the judiciary about a collective burden of proof (discussion)or have I lost the plot completely.
Anyone still awake who still is functioning on al cylinders? ..:-)
TIA
Debbie
PS: Maybe one more after this and I'll call it a day.

providing collective burden of proof to the judiciary
Explanation: >> Try as I may at this late hour, I can't get my head around what the introductory section is saying here (and should be able to) - is it in the sense of coming to some arrangement with the judiciary about a collective burden of proof (discussion)or have I lost the plot completely.
>> No Debbie, it simply says that, by providing collective burden of proof to the judiciary, positive results were obtained regarding the case/claims for damages. This curious use of the word 'richting' seems to be becoming more and more popular in current usage, especially in spoken Dutch. Keep well!

by jointly submitting proof to the department of justice
Explanation: they achieved positive results with regard to compensation (not sure who "they" might be - you need to look at the context).
"Richting XXX" just means "to".
