Extended data:
There is a time limit for public security organs to handle criminal cases. What is beneficial to the criminal suspect is not delay, but confession, positive compensation and confession in court.
Article 89 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that if a public security organ deems it necessary to arrest a detained person, it shall submit it to the people's procuratorate for examination and approval within three days after detention. Under special circumstances, the approval time can be extended by one to four days. For major suspects who commit crimes on the run, commit crimes many times or commit crimes in collusion, the time for submitting for examination and approval may be extended to 30 days.
The people's procuratorate shall, within seven days after receiving the approval letter from the public security organ, make a decision on whether to approve or disapprove the arrest. If the people's procuratorate does not approve the arrest, the public security organ shall immediately release it after receiving the notice and promptly notify the people's procuratorate to execute it. Those who need to continue the investigation and meet the conditions of obtaining a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance shall be granted a guarantor pending trial or residential surveillance according to law.
Article 154 stipulates that the period of investigation and detention of a criminal suspect after arrest shall not exceed two months. If the case is complicated and cannot be concluded at the expiration of the time limit, it may be extended for one month with the approval of the people's procuratorate at the next higher level.
