At any time during the proceedings, the assisted witness may, at the time of his or her hearing or by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, ask the examining magistrate to be placed under investigation; the person is then considered to be placed under investigation and benefits from all rights of defence as soon as the request is made or the registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt is sent.

The provisions of Article 105 do not apply to the assisted witness.
