I think the term that's being collectively  groped for is whether ripe ncc has a reporting obligation in case it discovers criminal activity

The number of cases where such reporting is mandatory in law and not simply a matter of good citizenship is rather limited - threat to life, kidnap, etc.

I am not saying that I think RIPE should file criminal charges, I am
saying that not doing so is in itself a questionable action.

Well, to be pedantic, *criminal* charges are filed by the police
or other law-enforcment body, not by companies. :)
