Article 160
If a person is caught in the act of committing a criminal offense prosecuted ex officio or is being pursued, the police or any other person shall be authorized to arrest him provisionally even without a court order. The person deprived of his liberty by persons other than the police shall be immediately turned over to the police or, where that proves impossible, the police or the state prosecutor must be immediately notified. The police shall act in accordance with Articles 161 and 162 of this Code.
Article 302
Failure of Accused to Appear at Main Trial
1. Without prejudice to Article 303 of this Code, if a duly summoned accused fails to appear at the main trial without justifying his absence, the single trial judge or presiding trial judge issues an order for arrest of the accused in accordance with Article 173 of the present Code. If the accused cannot be produced immediately, the single trial judge or trial panel adjourns the main trial and order that the accused be compelled to appear at the next session or otherwise issues a ruling suspending the criminal procedure, until the accused is brought before the court. If the accused justifies his absence before being arrested, the single trial judge or presiding trial judge revokes the order for arrest. The main trial commences as to the missing defendant when he is arrested.
2. If a duly summoned accused is obviously evading the main trial and there are no reasons for his detention on remand under Article 184 of the present Code, the single trial judge or trial panel may order detention on remand to ensure his presence at the main trial. An appeal against this ruling does not stay its execution. Articles 182 through 200 of the present Code apply, mutatis mutandis, to detention on remand ordered for this reason. Unless terminated earlier, the detention lasts until the announcement of the judgment, but no longer than one (1) month.
1. In urgent cases, the Court may request the provisional arrest of the person sought, pending presentation of the request for surrender and the documents supporting the request as specified in article 91.
2. The request for provisional arrest shall be made by any medium capable of delivering a written record and shall contain:
(a) Information describing the person sought, sufficient to identify the person, and information as to that person's probable location;
(b) A concise statement of the crimes for which the person's arrest is sought and of the facts which are alleged to constitute those crimes, including, where possible, the date and location of the crime;
(c) A statement of the existence of a warrant of arrest or a judgement of conviction against the person sought; and
(d) A statement that a request for surrender of the person sought will follow.
3. A person who is provisionally arrested may be released from custody if the requested State has not received the request for surrender and the documents supporting the request as specified in article 91 within the time limits specified in the Rules of Procedure and Evidence. However, the person may consent to surrender before the expiration of this period if permitted by the law of the requested State. In such a case, the requested State shall proceed to surrender the person to the Court as soon as possible.
4. The fact that the person sought has been released from custody pursuant to paragraph 3 shall not prejudice the subsequent arrest and surrender of that person if the request for surrender and the documents supporting the request are delivered at a later date.
