I.11 In which cases?
In all cases the district prosecutors may indeed be
involved in the police investigation process from its very commencement. As far
as preliminary police inquiries are concerned, the judicial police officers
carry out preliminary police inquiries either on the instructions of the
district prosecutor, or at their own initiative (sect. 75 CCP). Where the
enquiry is being carried out at their own initiative, the judicial police
officers give the district prosecutor an account of its progress where it has
been running for more than six months (sect. 75-1 CCP).
