It has been two days since my friend was taken to the economic investigation team for questioning and investigation ... Why is he in the hotel and not allowed to contact the outside world?

The longest time for the investigation team to summon the suspect was 24 hours. Two days later, he was still in the hotel, which was obviously illegal. Family members or entrusted agents of criminal suspects may complain to the procuratorate.

No subpoenas can be issued in the hotel.

Legal link: Article 117 of the Criminal Procedure Law, a criminal suspect who does not need to be arrested or detained may be summoned to the designated place of the city or county where the criminal suspect is located or to his residence for interrogation, but the documents of the people's procuratorate or the public security organ shall be produced. A criminal suspect found at the scene may be summoned orally, but it shall be indicated in the interrogation record.

The duration of summons or summons shall not exceed twelve hours; If the case is particularly serious and complicated and detention or arrest measures are needed, the time limit for summoning or compulsory summoning shall not exceed 24 hours.

The criminal suspect shall not be detained in disguised form by means of continuous summons or compulsory summons. When summoning or detaining a criminal suspect, the suspect shall be guaranteed food and drink and necessary rest time.
