If, during the investigation, hearings have been held, the minutes of the hearing must also be communicated unless such communication seriously prejudices the persons who have testified.
The staff member being prosecuted shall also be entitled to the assistance of one or more defenders of his choice.
The administration must inform him of this right.

Disciplinary proceedings
Disciplinary proceedings must be initiated within 3 years of the day on which the administration became aware of the facts liable to sanction.
In the case of criminal proceedings against the official, that period of three years shall be interrupted until the final decision on no further action, dismissal, acquittal, discharge or conviction has been taken. After the three-year period which may have been interrupted by criminal proceedings, the facts in question can no longer be relied on in disciplinary proceedings.

If the Disciplinary Board does not consider itself sufficiently informed of the circumstances in which the facts occurred, it may, by a majority of the members present, order an investigation.
The Disciplinary Board shall deliberate in the absence of the official being prosecuted, his or her defense counsel(s) and witnesses. It shall take its decision by a majority of the members present. It thus takes one of the following decisions:
