Nobody needs to investigate, this is not how it has been done in other 3 RIRs 
(one pending of implementation). This has been explained thousands of times in 
previous proposals.

1) You must have a standard way to send the report to the resource holder, not 
using a form. Up to now this has been done in other RIRs by email.
2) If the resource holder don’t take an action, or the reporting standard way 
doesn’t work, you can escalate to the RIR, so they look for lack of compliance 
because a) the reporting is not working, b) is ignored, c) alternative 
non-standard reporting is enforced.
3) Lack of compliance, if not resolved, can enact a reclamation procedure.

If the RIR believes (for example), a DDOS or spam are legal, then the problems 
is out of the hands of the RIR, and is up to each jurisdiction if the reporter 
can take legal actions, or filter them or even blame them publicly so others 
also filter them, or whatever.
