Clear?

Take necessary meassures to prevent suspects fleeing from criminal investigation, judgement and continuing to commit crimes.

===
I wonder if you would misunderstand "prevent suspects fleeing from criminal investigation", because I didn't mean "prevent from", I meant "flee from"...

Hmm, your comment is more confusing than the sentence, which is pretty clear, I think. I would phrase it: "Take necessary measures to prevent suspects' fleeing from criminal investigation and trial, and continuing to commit crimes. "-- meaning that you want to stop their flight from criminal justice and stop their committing more crimes.
