Usage notes
- For reporting a crime, denuncia is standard; querela is a formal complaint by the victim and can be withdrawn in some cases.
- Use fare denuncia or sporgere denuncia, not *fare una denuncia di qualcuno* in many police-report contexts.
- In everyday speech, denuncia often implies police or legal action; for a general complaint, reclamo or lamentela may fit better.
