In all cases, release with or without judicial supervision may be ordered ex officio by the examining magistrate after receiving the opinion of the public prosecutor, on condition that the person under investigation undertakes to attend all the proceedings as soon as he or she is requested to do so and to keep the examining magistrate informed of all his or her movements.
The public prosecutor may also request release at any time. Unless he orders the person’s release, the investigating magistrate must, within five days of the public prosecutor’s request, forward the case file, together with his reasoned opinion, to the liberty and custody judge, who will rule within three working days.
