Can lawyers read the transcripts during the investigation stage?

Legal analysis: lawyers have no right to read papers during the investigation stage. They must go to the public security organ to complete the investigation and hand over the case to the people's procuratorate. At this time, lawyers have the right to read papers so as to understand the case and defend. Nothing is certain at the investigation stage. Whether the criminal suspect's statement is true or false requires the investigation organ to collect other evidence to verify it. A confession confirmed by evidence can be used as evidence, and a confession without evidence has no evidential significance. It is reasonable that the investigation organ is unwilling to show the matters under investigation to the lawyer.

Legal basis: Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC).

Article 36 A defense lawyer may provide legal aid to a criminal suspect during investigation; Acting as an agent for complaints and accusations; Apply for changing compulsory measures; Ask the investigation organ about the crimes and cases suspected by the criminal suspect, and put forward opinions.

Article 38 From the date of examination and prosecution by the People's Procuratorate, defense lawyers may consult, extract and copy the case files. Other defenders may also consult, extract and copy the above materials with the permission of the people's court or the people's procuratorate.
