Any person whose identity is recorded in the file may ask the public prosecutor to rectify or order the deletion of information concerning him or her if the information is not accurate or if its retention no longer appears necessary given the purpose of the file, with regard to the nature of the offence, the age of the person when it was committed, the time that has elapsed since then and the current personality of the person concerned.
The same request may be made to the investigating judge when the entry was made on the basis of 5° of Article 706-25-4.
The request for deletion is inadmissible as long as the information relates to ongoing legal proceedings, except in the case of registration on the basis of the same 5°.
If the public prosecutor or examining magistrate does not order the rectification or deletion, the person may appeal to the president of the examining magistrate’s chamber.
Before ruling on the request for rectification or deletion, the public prosecutor, the investigating judge and the president of the investigating chamber may carry out any checks they consider necessary.
