Please help! How do you ask someone "Have you been charged with a crime?" or "What are the charges?" I'm just not sure what the correct verb is for "charge" in this case. Gracias!

In strict legal terminology, in Spanish ( Mexico) there are many ways to state these things. But in the broad sense they would be:
¿Has sido acusado de un crimen? ( informal you) / ¿ Ha sido acusado de un crimen? ( formal you)
¿Cuáles son los cargos?
