The criminal court may stay the proceedings where it deems it necessary to translate the decision or where the property is already subject either to a seizure or freezing measure or to a final confiscation order in the context of other proceedings.
When it stays proceedings, the criminal court may order seizure measures in accordance with the procedures set out in Article 484-1.
In the event of a stay of proceedings, the public prosecutor shall immediately inform the competent authority of the issuing State by any means that leaves a written record, stating the reasons and, if possible, the duration of the stay of proceedings.
