Plea bargaining is an alternative to prosecution. The prosecutor may propose it in simple cases and when the person involved admits the facts.

If you are summoned to appear in criminal court it is important that rapidly you contact one of the network’s lawyers so that you can prepare your defense.

The ‘comparution sur reconnaissance préalable de culpabilité’ – hearing following admission of guilt – is a procedure designed for culprits who admit to having committed the acts for which they are accused.

A ‘garde à vue’ is a restraining measure decided by a police officer when a suspect is — for one or multiple reasons — considered potentially guilty of having committed, or tried to commit, a crime or a misdemeanour punishable by prison time.
