Article 226 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

Once the matter has been referred to it, the investigating chamber conducts an investigation; it hears the public prosecutor and the judicial police officer or agent in question.

The latter must first have been given the opportunity to acquaint himself with his judicial police file held at the public prosecutor’s office of the court of appeal.

He may be assisted by a lawyer.

Ce dernier doit avoir été préalablement mis à même de prendre connaissance de son dossier de police judiciaire tenu au parquet général de la cour d’appel.

Il peut se faire assister par un avocat.
