Where a transfer is required under the conditions provided for in articles 128 and 129, the person must be brought before the investigating judge who issued the warrant within four days of notification of the warrant.

However, this time limit is extended to six days in the event of a transfer from an overseas department to another department or from mainland France to an overseas department.

Lorsqu’il y a lieu à transfèrement dans les conditions prévues par les articles 128 et 129, la personne doit être conduite devant le juge d’instruction qui a délivré le mandat dans les quatre jours de la notification du mandat.

Toutefois, ce délai est porté à six jours en cas de transfèrement d’un département d’outre-mer vers un autre département ou de la France métropolitaine vers un département d’outre-mer.
