What should I do if I am detained for duty crimes? Ask for a defense lawyer?

Duty crime refers to the criminal suspect's taking advantage of his position to seek illegitimate interests for others or himself, which constitutes a crime, such as duty occupation, corruption and bribery. If you are detained for duty crimes, can you hire a lawyer during your detention?

1. After a criminal case is put on file, the criminal suspect may hire a lawyer to provide legal assistance from the day when he is interrogated for the first time by the investigation organ or compulsory measures are taken. In order to fully protect this right of criminal suspects, investigators should inform criminal suspects that they have the right to entrust lawyers during interrogation.

Detention is a compulsory measure, so once detained, you can seek help from a lawyer as soon as possible.

2. In cases of crimes endangering national security, terrorist activities and particularly serious bribery crimes, defense lawyers shall obtain permission from the investigation organ when meeting with criminal suspects in custody during the investigation.
