Article 195 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

In cases brought before the criminal or police courts and until the opening of the hearings, the public prosecutor, if he considers that the facts are susceptible of a more serious classification than the one to which they have been subjected, orders the contribution of exhibits, prepares the case and submits it with his indictment to the investigating chamber.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article 195

Dans les causes dont sont saisies les juridictions correctionnelles ou de police et jusqu’à l’ouverture des débats, le procureur général, s’il estime que les faits sont susceptibles d’une qualification plus grave que celle dont ils ont été l’objet, ordonne l’apport des pièces, met l’affaire en état et la soumet avec son réquisitoire à la chambre de l’instruction.
