Request for Investigating Chamber for Alleged Arbitrary Detention Denied Pending Definitive Ruling
France (FR)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe request sought the designation of an investigating chamber to handle potential charges of arbitrary detention against a former substitute prosecutor, an investigating judge, and a police inspector, stemming from a complaint alleging that the duration of the complainant's police custody, preceding a committal order in a homicide investigation, was excessive. The court determined that the alleged acts, which would constitute arbitrary detention, occurred in the context of a judicial proceeding and involved alleged violations of criminal procedure provisions. Citing procedural articles, the court held that public prosecution for such acts can only commence after the illegality of the prosecution or act has been definitively established by the competent criminal jurisdiction, which had not yet occurred; therefore, there was no basis, at that stage, to designate a specific jurisdiction.
