If you are being investigated for a punishable offence, you will not receive legal assistance. You will, however, receive reimbursement of the incurred costs afterwards, if the irrevocable judgement is ‘not guilty/acquittal’ or ‘discharged from further prosecution’, or if your case is dismissed. In some cases, for example if you are charged with culpable homicide or grievous bodily harm, you will receive immediate legal assistance.
