Article 83-2 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

In the event of a joint investigation, the examining magistrate in charge of the investigation coordinates its progress. He alone has the authority to refer the matter to the liberty and custody judge, to order release on his own initiative and to issue the notice of the end of the investigation provided for in article 175 and the settlement order. However, this notice and this order may be co-signed by the co-investigating judge(s).

Toutefois, cet avis et cette ordonnance peuvent être cosignés par le ou les juges d’instruction cosaisis.
