The interrogation record can be used as evidence. According to the law, interrogation of witnesses and victims should be recorded.
The interrogation record shall truthfully and completely record the statements of witnesses and victims. The processing method of interrogation record is the same as that of the defendant. It should be verified by witnesses and victims, so that they can correct their mistakes. If a witness or victim requests to write testimony in person, it shall be allowed, and if necessary, the witness or victim may be required to write testimony in person. The order of interrogation transcripts shall conform to the actual interrogation order. Witnesses or victims and interrogators shall sign the interrogation record.
As a record of testimony provided by witnesses, interrogation record has the seriousness of law. At the beginning of the inquiry, the inquirer should preach the provisions of Article 98 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), and make the following record in the transcript: "According to the provisions of Article 98 of the Criminal Procedure Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), the inquirer should inform the interviewee that he should truthfully provide documents and testimony, and he should bear legal responsibility if he intentionally perjures or conceals criminal evidence." After being signed, the interviewee shall affix his seal or fingerprint, and each page of the transcript shall also be stamped with a riding seal (or fingerprint).
According to Article 67 of the Criminal Procedure Law, "the questioning of witnesses should be conducted individually", and the transcripts of questioning witnesses should also be recorded separately. The questioning of several witnesses should not be written in one transcript, so it is necessary to record and make transcripts separately.
