Chapter XVIII
INVESTIGATION

Openness of Investigation

Article 282

(4) The accused person, defense attorney, injured party, and proxy of the injured party may be present at witness hearings.

(5) The State Prosecutor shall notify in a convenient manner the defense attorney, the injured party, proxy of the injured party, and the accused person of the time and place of taking evidence gathering actions they are entitled to attend, unless there is a risk of delay. If the accused person retains a defense attorney, the State Prosecutor shall, as a rule, notify only the defense attorney. If the
accused person is in detention and the evidence-related action is to be performed outside the court seat, the State Prosecutor shall decide whether the presence of the accused person is needed.

(6) The evidence gathering action may be carried out even in the absence of a duly notified person who fails to appear.

(7) Persons attending the evidence gathering actions may suggest that the State Prosecutor poses certain questions to the accused person, witness or expert witness for the purpose of clarification,
and, upon the permission of the State Prosecutor, may pose questions personally. These persons are entitled to request that their objections as to carrying out certain actions be entered in the records
and may propose that certain evidence be examined.

(8) In order to clarify certain technical or other expert issues which arise in relation to the evidence gathered or at the interrogation of the accused person or in the course of undertaking other evidencerelated actions, the State Prosecutor may require that an expert in the relevant field give necessary explanations in regard to those issues. If the parties are present while the explanation is being conveyed, they may request that the expert provide a more detailed explanation. Where necessary, the State Prosecutor may require a specialized institution to provide an explanation.

(9) The provisions of paragraphs 1 through 8 of this Article shall also be applied if the evidence-related action is undertaken before the order of investigation is rendered.
