Legal counsel is a right and is never considered an indication of guilt.

Criminal proceedings follow codes that are utterly unfamiliar to the uninitiated.

It is therefore crucial to understand these codes and adopt a proactive approach to defend yourself, even if you believe you have nothing to hide.

Indeed, it is all too common for individuals who genuinely believe they are innocent to find themselves alone and helpless before investigators, adopting an attitude contrary to their own interests.

A criminal seizure is a conservatory and therefore provisional measure that can be challenged at any time.

It is always possible to contest a criminal seizure, either by appealing or by subsequently requesting the withdrawal of this measure.

All companies, regardless of their size, are exposed to the commission of criminal offenses by their directors or employees.

The diversity of charges also covers acts carried out in the company’s interest or unintentionally.

In case of pre-trial detention, the most obvious remedy is an appeal before the Indictment Chamber.

Furthermore, it is always possible, throughout the proceedings, to obtain release by means of a request for release (DML).

This request must be carefully prepared and filed at the opportune moment to maximize the chances of success.

The first instinct is often to want to file a complaint as quickly as possible.

Depending on the situation and the technicality of the case, it may be wise to first consult a lawyer who will advise you on the best strategy to adopt (obtaining evidence, preparing an explanatory note for investigators or the prosecutor, etc.).

This will allow the investigation to progress faster and conclude more reliably.
