The magistrate who ordered or authorised the seizure of property or the examining magistrate in the event of a judicial investigation being opened after the seizure is made shall have jurisdiction to rule on all requests relating to the execution of the seizure, without prejudice to the provisions relating to the destruction and disposal of property seized during the investigation or examination provided for in Articles 41-5 and 99-2.
Where the decision does not fall within the remit of the public prosecutor, his opinion is sought beforehand.
The applicant and the Public Prosecutor may appeal against the decision to the Investigating Chamber within ten days of being notified of the decision. This appeal has suspensive effect.
