I can see that this term refers to the person under investigation/suspicion, but wonder if this has a precise accurate equivalent in French. Context:
"...en lien avec l'affaire et notamment les éventuelles images représentant le co-mis en examen, la plaignant et lui."
"...en lien avec l'affaire et notamment les éventuelles images représentant le co-mis en examen, la plaignant et lui."

co-suspect
Although the word "indictee" also exists, I think it is very rare.
A person "mis en examen" is not really a defendant at that stage (he is not yet before the court). He is still a suspect, with special status during the investigation process.
Tom: I am not aware of "mise en examen" being used in civil cases.

(civ. & crim) co-defendant; (crim. committal stage) co-interviewee
That's about all that can be speculated from the context, without knowing whether there is another defendant and if a civil or criminal scene.

Hello
'Defendant' means charges have been brought and we're not there yet so whether it's a police investigation or tax or whatever...
