Immediately organize the division of responsibilities, approval processes, and relevant official documents and records. If the case may involve search, detention, or serious criminal liability, it is recommended to contact a criminal lawyer as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I have a lawyer accompany me if I am summoned for questioning by the Investigation Bureau, the Agency Against Corruption, or the District Prosecutor&#039;s Office?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. In cases involving corruption, profiteering, bribery, offering bribes, or official misconduct, having a lawyer present can help clarify the scope of the issues, confirm the contents of the transcript, and avoid adverse statements due to nervousness or misunderstanding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why do corruption cases require lawyers familiar with major criminal cases?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Corruption cases typically involve administrative processes, procurement, document approvals, financial records, and multiple defendants or witnesses.
