What RUI means

Released under investigation (RUI) commonly describes being released from the police station while an investigation continues — without bail conditions. It is not a finding of innocence or guilt.

What to do next

Keep contact details updated with the police. You may still need legal advice if re-interviewed or charged. Our detailed page: Released under investigation explained.
