During the investigation, the defense lawyer shall obtain the permission of the investigation organ when meeting the criminal suspect in custody.
Extended data:
Lawyers take the initiative to meet with criminal suspects during the investigation stage.
Article 37 of the Criminal Procedure Law stipulates that
"Defense lawyers can meet and communicate with criminal suspects and defendants in custody. Other defenders, with the permission of the people's courts and people's procuratorates, may also meet and correspond with criminal suspects and defendants in custody.
If a defense lawyer holds a lawyer's practice certificate, a law firm's certificate, a power of attorney or a letter of legal aid to ask for a meeting with the criminal suspect or defendant in custody, the detention center shall arrange the meeting in time, which shall not exceed 48 hours at the latest.
In cases of crimes endangering national security, terrorist activities and particularly serious bribery crimes, defense lawyers should obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with the criminal suspect in custody during the investigation. The investigation organ shall notify the detention center of the above situation in advance.
When a defense lawyer meets a criminal suspect or defendant in custody, he can understand the case and provide legal advice. From the date when the case is transferred for examination and prosecution, the relevant evidence may be verified with the criminal suspect or defendant. Defense lawyers are not monitored when meeting with criminal suspects and defendants. "
According to the existing criminal procedure regulations, it can be seen that although lawyers can meet criminal suspects in custody during the investigation stage, they must be approved by the investigation organ. Whether the investigation organ agrees or not, when, where, times and contents are all decided by the investigation organ. Lawyers are completely passive.
Due to the characteristics of time-limited, closed and confidential investigation work, investigation organs generally do not want lawyers to get in touch with criminal suspects as soon as possible and arrange lawyers to meet, often after the case breaks through.
Therefore, in a large area, it is not uncommon that lawyers' requests to meet with criminal suspects can be approved in time, but not in time; Lawyers are not limited by time to meet criminal suspects, and it is common to limit time; It is a common phenomenon that individuals agree that lawyers can meet more than twice in the investigation stage, and only allow lawyers to meet once.
Because lawyers can't meet criminal suspects completely independently, their work in the investigation stage often becomes a decoration, and they can't give full play to the role of safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of criminal suspects.
