Interrogation is one of the investigative procedures taken against the accused by discussing in detail the evidence presented against him, whether for or against. Given the seriousness of this procedure, it may only be carried out by judicial authorities. However, the Supreme Court established a principle permitting the interrogation of the accused by a judicial police officer if he confesses during the evidence-gathering stage, and decided that it is not considered an interrogation. This requires investigation by identifying the legal basis on which the court relied in granting the judicial police officer the authority to carry out this procedure, what is the justification for doing so? What is the difference between taking this procedure before or after a confession by a non-judicial body? This is what we will address through a critical analytical study.
