The provisional release of animals and perishable objects from sequestration is ordered by the president of the judicial court or by the investigating judge, subject to security and payment of the pound and sequestration costs.
If the said animals or objects are to be sold, the sale is ordered by the same magistrates.
This sale is carried out by auction at the nearest market at the behest of the accounting officer of the Directorate-General of Public Finance.
The day of the sale is indicated by poster, twenty-four hours in advance, unless the modest nature of the item determines the magistrate to order its sale without formality, which he expresses in his order.
The proceeds of the sale shall be paid into the coffers of the accountant of the Directorate General of Public Finance, to be disposed of as ordered by the final judgment.
