| liens de la prévention charged Explanation: Juridical meaning of the expression "retenir dans les liens de la prévention" means to be arrested and charged with a crime. In some dictionaries it says detention on suspicion (concise Oxford-Hachette), but it it not clear to me that it always means actual detention, only to be formally charged and await trial. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs 57 mins (2005-02-18 16:25:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- and the prévenu is thus the accused/the defendant.
