Before arrest

Con­tra­ry to ap­pe­aran­ces, the ar­rest and fur­ther pre­-trial de­ten­tion is not the first ac­tions of the au­tho­ri­ties in a gi­ven ca­se. Most often, they are pre­ce­ded by ma­ny we­eks of ope­ra­tio­nal ac­ti­vi­ties, or even a pre­pa­ra­to­ry pro­ce­eding in the ca­se. Due to the na­tu­re of the­se ac­ti­vi­ties, they are clas­si­fied or ve­ry dif­fi­cult to find out. Ho­we­ver, if you find out that the­re is an on­go­ing in­ve­sti­ga­tion in a ca­se in which you can po­ten­tial­ly act as a su­spect, it is worth ta­king cer­ta­in steps.

First of all, it is worth con­tac­ting an at­tor­ney or le­gal ad­vi­sor who will as­sess the se­rio­usness of the si­tu­ation and ad­vi­se whe­ther it is worth ma­king any pre­-emp­ti­ve mo­ves. It is ve­ry im­por­tant that your lo­ved ones ha­ve con­tact de­ta­ils for the la­wy­er of your cho­ice. This si­gni­fi­can­tly spe­eds up the ac­tion when it co­mes to a halt. Then you no lon­ger ha­ve to ma­ke ne­rvo­us mo­ve­ments and re­ly on an unk­nown per­son.

It will al­so be a go­od mo­ve to se­cu­re a cer­ta­in amo­unt of mo­ney that you en­trust to a tru­sted per­son. This amo­unt will be use­ful to co­ver the cur­rent expen­ses of your lo­ved ones whi­le in cu­sto­dy. This amo­unt may al­so be use­ful for pay­ing for le­gal se­rvi­ces or for po­ssi­ble ba­il.

It is al­so worth ga­the­ring all the do­cu­men­ta­tion that may be help­ful for you, ie will pro­ve your go­od in­ten­tions, due di­li­gen­ce, etc. Re­mem­ber, ho­we­ver, to agree on the­ir di­sc­lo­su­re with your la­wy­er!

We ha­ve pro­vi­ded on­ly ve­ry ge­ne­ral in­for­ma­tion abo­ve. Mo­re de­ta­ils can be fo­und be­low in the te­xts of our spe­cia­li­sts.

We in­vi­te you to re­ad it!
