Arrested and then?

On 09, Aug 2012 | In Frequently Asked Questions | By - K. Canatan

After an arrest by the police, a lot comes at you. You may be interrogated, arrested, detained and imprisoned. In all these cases this means deprivation of liberty.

The first 3 or 6 days of insurance are ordered by the judicial authorities. However, within 3 days and 15 hours at the latest, you will be brought before a judge who can order your release. After the insurance has been taken out, it is up to the judges to decide whether you can remain in custody for a longer period or be released.

The detention period shall not exceed 14 days, but may be followed by up to 90 days detention. Within those 90 days there will have to be a public hearing. If the investigation in your case has not yet been completed, this can also be a so-called pro forma hearing. In that case, too, the detention may continue. A hearing will have to follow every 90 days, until the substance of the case is discussed and decided.

If you are arrested, you are immediately entitled to (free) legal assistance by a lawyer, even before the first police interrogation. Never waive this right. Tell us immediately that you want a lawyer from our office, then the police are obliged to pass this on. Your lawyer can inform, advise and assist you.
