Following notification of the extradition request, if he decides not to release the person claimed, the public prosecutor shall present him to the first president of the court of appeal or to the judge designated by him.
The first president of the court of appeal or the sitting magistrate designated by him orders the imprisonment and extradition of the person claimed at the remand centre at the seat of the court of appeal.
However, if the First President of the Court of Appeal or the judge designated by him or her considers that the person’s representation at all the proceedings is sufficiently guaranteed, the First President of the Court of Appeal or the judge designated by him or her may subject the person claimed, until his or her appearance before the Investigating Chamber, to one or more of the measures provided for in articles 138 et 142-5. This decision is notified orally and mentioned in the minutes, a copy of which is given to the applicant immediately. It may be appealed to the Investigating Chamber, which must rule within five days.
Article 696-21 is applicable to a wanted person left at liberty or placed under judicial supervision or under electronically monitored house arrest if they voluntarily evade or fail to comply with the obligations of judicial supervision or electronically monitored house arrest.
