Code of Penal Procedure of Greece

Article 31 paragraph 2

2. The preliminary investigation is conducted pursuant to articles 240 and
241. If this is made following a criminal complaint against a specific person
or if during the preliminary investigation the commission of the punishable
act is attributed to a certain person, this person is called prior to forty-eight
hours for the provision of explanations and is examined without an oath. He
has the right to appear with a lawyer to deny in full or in part the provision
of explanations and to receive a time limit of up to forty-eight hours for their
provision, which can be extended by the person who conducts the
preliminary investigation. Also, he has the right to petition to be granted
copies of the case record, to propose witnesses for examination and to
produce other evidence for the rebuttal of the complaints reported against
him. His hereinabove rights can be exercised either in person or represented
by a lawyer who is appointed by article 96 par. 2 unless his in-person
appearance is regarded as necessary in the judgement of the person who
conducts the preliminary examination. The person who conducts the
preliminary investigation is obligated to previously inform the examinee for
his hereinabove rights. The provisions of article 273 par. 1 cases c, d and
are applied by analogy.
3. A previous written examination of the person which was made under oath
or without the possibility of the appearance with a lawyer cannot constitute
a part of the case record but remains in the record of the public prosecution
department. Insofar as the criminal complaint respondent filed by the
affected person or by a third party or the person against whom the suspicions
are directed was summoned lawfully and he did not appear the preliminary
examination is completed even without his examination.
