A criminal investigation is a process initiated by the Public Prosecutor’s Office when there is suspicion that a crime has been committed. An investigation may begin upon a criminal report, complaint, police detection, or the prosecutor’s ex officio knowledge. During this stage, evidence is collected, the suspect’s statement is taken, and protective measures (detention, arrest, judicial control) may be applied. The investigation phase is the most critical stage of criminal proceedings, as actions taken at this stage directly affect the outcome of the case.
Representation by a lawyer during a criminal investigation is not always mandatory; however, in certain types of offenses (for example, crimes falling under the jurisdiction of the Heavy Criminal Court), mandatory defense applies. Even where not mandatory, the absence of legal counsel at the investigation stage may lead to serious loss of rights. Legal assistance is particularly vital during statement-taking, evaluation of evidence, and arrest requests.
Detention is the temporary deprivation of liberty of a person apprehended on suspicion of committing a crime, for the purpose of ensuring a proper investigation. While the duration of detention varies depending on the nature of the offense, the general rule is 24 hours. This period may be extended in cases of collective crimes.

The court or judge may impose judicial control in lieu of arrest. Judicial control decisions may also be lifted or eased through effective legal applications.

While minor offenses may conclude relatively quickly, serious criminal cases may take longer. Proper defense strategy, effective use of evidence, and professional case management can prevent unnecessary delays.
