Where the person under investigation or the assisted witness is implicated by several persons, they may request, in accordance with the first paragraph of Article 82-1 or the last paragraph of l’article 113-3, to be confronted separately with each of them. The examining magistrate decides on these requests in accordance with the second paragraph of article 82-1. The refusal of a request for individual confrontation may not be based solely on the fact that a collective confrontation is being organised.
