You don't want to commit a crime - you want to prosecute it - so it is illogical to reserve criminal steps- this is completely wrongly translated

bring (file) a criminal complaint

My comment:

This suggestion assumes that this is a statement by a private individual, not a prosecutor, who would probably "bring criminal charges." Of course there is always the generic, literal "take steps under criminal law"

My references:

Germany is different than the United States in the sense that you can actually bring a criminal complaint and the prosecutor has to do something with it. ...
