In the event of prosecution for one of the offences referred to in Article 706-26, the investigating judge may provisionally order, for a period of up to six months, the closure of any hotel, furnished house, guesthouse, public house, restaurant, club, circle, dance hall, place of entertainment or their annexes or any place whatsoever open to the public or used by the public, where these offences have been committed by the operator or with his or her complicity.
This closure may, regardless of its duration, be renewed in the same manner for a maximum of three months each.
The decisions provided for in the preceding paragraphs and those ruling on applications for release may be appealed to the Investigating Chamber within twenty-four hours of their execution or notification to the parties concerned.
When a case is referred to a trial court, the current closure or its renewal, for a maximum period of three months each time, shall be released in accordance with the rules set out in the second to fourth paragraphs of article 148-1.
