For the investigation, prosecution, inquiry and, in the case of misdemeanours, the judgment of offences relating to damage to maritime cultural property provided for in Section 2 of Chapter IV of Title IV of Book V of the Heritage Code which are committed in territorial waters and the contiguous zone, the jurisdiction of a judicial court may be extended to the jurisdiction of one or more courts of appeal.
This jurisdiction extends to related offences.
A decree sets the list and jurisdiction of these maritime coastal courts. These courts include a section of the public prosecutor’s office and specialised investigation and trial panels to deal with these offences.
