When house arrest has been imposed pursuant to 6°, 7° or 8° of article L. 731-3 or articles L. 731-4 or L. 731-5, the maximum period of six months provided for in article L. 732-4 does not apply.
In the case provided for in 7° of article L. 731-3, maintenance under house arrest beyond five years is subject to a specially reasoned decision stating the particular circumstances justifying this extension with regard, in particular, to the absence of sufficient guarantees of the foreign national’s representation or if his or her presence constitutes a serious threat to public order.
