(Inserted by Law no. 2002-268 of 26 February 2002 art. 1 Official Journal of 27 February 2002)
If the person apprehended has already requested the presence of an advocate, who has been duly sent for, the public prosecutor hears his statement.
In all other cases, the prosecutor reminds him of his right to choose an advocate or to ask for one to be officially nominated for him. The chosen advocate, or in case of a request for one to be officially nominated the bâtonnier of the order of advocates, is informed at once by any means available. The advocate may look at the case file straight away, and may freely communicate with the apprehended person. The public prosecutor hears the latter’s statement after informing him that he is free to not make one. This notification is recorded in the official record.
