Because it's using the reflexive passive.
This construction equals:
- (...) que no han sido presentadas las querellas (...)

I think its easier to understand if you read it backwards querellas criminales no se han presentado, I found this out when I sent a gmail today it said "se ha enviado el mensaje", so I just said to myself "el mensaje se ha enviado" and it makes sense. Thx - berry82, Nov 30, 2016
