Usage notes
- Use fare un'accusa or muovere un'accusa in formal contexts; accusare is usually more direct and common in everyday speech.
- Often followed by di + noun/infinitive: un'accusa di frode, l'accusa di aver mentito.
- In legal contexts, l'accusa can also mean the prosecution, not just the charge itself.
