De un folleto sobre legislación suiza:
The Swiss Criminal Code makes many but not all forms of domestic violence punishable. Often the victims also need healthcare, counseling, civil-rights protection and financial support.
How can domestic violence look like?
For example: To deal out slaps on the face, kicks, punches; to bite, scratch, beat up, strangle, aim a weapon, threaten, force a behavior, lock up, stalk, hit with a tool, stab with a knife, shoot.
What does prosecution by official order mean?
Criminal prosecution by official order means that the victim her/himself no longer has to file for legal proceedings within 3 months in order to call the violent person to account for her/his action. The police are obliged to investigate due to their official position, and this is independent of the will of the victim.

agree Sery : exactamente, es la toma de conocimiento directo a nivel oficial ( Ministerio Público en este caso, creo) de la comisión de un delito, dando inicio a la investigación de éste.

Existe otra opción que se utiliza, por ejemplo, cuando el Juez toma una determinación "de oficio", y la traducción sería "The Judge, on his own motion...".
