Article L741-1 of the French Code governing the entry and residence of foreign nationals and the right of asylum

The administrative authority may detain, for a period of forty-eight hours, a foreign national who is in one of the cases provided for in article L. 731-1 when he or she does not present effective guarantees of representation to prevent a risk of evading the enforcement of the removal decision and no other measure appears sufficient to effectively guarantee the enforcement of this decision.
The risk referred to in the first paragraph is assessed using the same criteria as those provided for in Article L. 612-3.

Article L741-1


L’autorité administrative peut placer en rétention, pour une durée de quarante-huit heures, l’étranger qui se trouve dans l’un des cas prévus à l’article L. 731-1 lorsqu’il ne présente pas de garanties de représentation effectives propres à prévenir un risque de soustraction à l’exécution de la décision d’éloignement et qu’aucune autre mesure n’apparaît suffisante à garantir efficacement l’exécution effective de cette décision.
Le risque mentionné au premier alinéa est apprécié selon les mêmes critères que ceux prévus à l’article L. 612-3.
