Section 94 Preliminary Custody
(1) If the ascertained matters of fact substantiate a concern that the person concerned by the extradition might flee, the presiding judge may decide upon a petition of the public prosecutor, and after filing a petition for a decision according to Section 95 (1) even without such petition, on taking the person into preliminary custody; provisions of Section 67 and 68 of the Code of Criminal Procedure will not apply. A complaint is admissible against the decision on imposing preliminary custody.

Release from the preliminary custody does not preclude new imposing of preliminary custody, if the request for extradition is served subsequently. Delivering the request to the Supreme Public Prosecutor’s Office, to a diplomatic office of the Czech Republic in the foreign state or Ministry of Foreign Affairs has also the effect of service.
