②The "specific crime" provided in the preceding paragraph means one of the following crimes (except those punishable by the death penalty or imprisonment for life):

③In an agreement under paragraph (1), matters incidental to the acts performed by the suspect or defendant as set forth in item (i) of the same paragraph, or the acts performed by the public prosecutor as set forth in item (ii) of the same paragraph, and other necessary matters to achieve the purpose of the agreement may be contained.

The necessary consultation to make an agreement under Article 350-2, paragraph (1) shall be held between a public prosecutor, and a suspect or the defendant and the defense counsel; provided, however, that when the suspect or defendant and the defense counsel do not raise an objection, the public prosecutor may consult only with the defense counsel in part.

①In a consultation under the preceding Article, a public prosecutor may request that a suspect or the defendant should make a statement on another person's criminal case. In this case, the provisions of Article 198, paragraph (2) apply mutatis mutandis.

In this case, the judicial police officer may present the content of the act set forth in item (ii) of Article 350-2, paragraph (1), which is proposed by the public prosecutor to be the content of the agreement under the same paragraph, to the extent that the public prosecutor individually delegates powers to the judicial police officer.
