The order of criminal irresponsibility on grounds of mental disorder puts an end to pre-trial detention or judicial supervision.
The order for the transmission of documents issued pursuant to Article 706-120 does not terminate pre-trial detention or judicial supervision, which continues until the hearing of the investigating chamber, without prejudice to the possibility for the investigating judge, by separate order, to order release or the lifting of judicial supervision. If pre-trial detention has not been terminated, the investigating chamber must rule within six months in criminal cases or four months in correctional cases from the date of the order to transmit documents, failing which the person under investigation is released if not detained for another reason.
