Article R103 of the French Code of Criminal Procedure

The expenses that the members of the escort are obliged to incur en route shall be reimbursed to them as criminal, correctional and police court costs on the basis of their detailed memoranda, to which they shall attach the orders they have received as well as the specific receipts for the expenses of a nature to be thus ascertained.

If the members of the escort do not have sufficient funds to make these advances, the sum presumed necessary is provisionally allocated to them by the magistrate ordering the transport.

The amount of this provisional allocation is mentioned on the transport order.

Arrived at their destination, the members of the escort have their statement settled definitively by the magistrate before whom the accused is to appear.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R103

Les dépenses que les membres de l’escorte se trouvent obligés de faire en route leur sont remboursées comme frais de justice criminelle, correctionnelle et de police sur leurs mémoires détaillés, auxquels ils joignent les ordres qu’ils ont reçus ainsi que les quittances particulières pour les dépenses de nature à être ainsi constatées.

Si les membres de l’escorte n’ont pas de fonds suffisants pour faire ces avances, la somme présumée nécessaire leur est provisoirement allouée par le magistrat qui ordonne le transport.

Il est fait mention du montant de cette allocation provisoire sur l’ordre de transport.

Arrivés à destination, les membres de l’escorte font régler définitivement leur mémoire par le magistrat devant lequel le prévenu doit comparaître.
