In cases of federal law, does the prosecution have just 100 days after arrest to bring the accused to trial?

I have read that the prosecution has 30 days to seek an indictment or information, and then another 70 days to start the trial, which means that a total of 100 days is allowed by law from arrest to trial? Is this true?


Thank you for you help.

Yes, what you said is generally true, subject to numerous qualifications (e.g. if the grand jury is not in session in the district where the charges are to be filed, the prosecution gets an additional 30 days to file an indictment; the 70-day time limit starts to run from either the filing of the indictment or the defendant's initial court appearance, whichever occurs later; etc.).
