TITLE V PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
CHAPTER I PERSONAL PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES
SECTION I GENERAL PROVISIONS
Article 227 Classification of personal precautionary measures
Personal precautionary measures are classified in coercive and interdicted measures.

Article 228 Requirements for the application of personal precautionary measures
1. No one may be subjected to personal precautionary measures unless there exists a reasonable suspect against him, based on evidence.
2. No measure can be applied if there are reasons for impunity or extinction of the criminal offence or of the penalty.
3. Personal precautionary measures shall be adopted:
a) when important reasons exist that put in danger the obtainment or the authenticity of evidence, based on factual circumstances that must be expressly set out in the reasoning of the decision;
b) when the defendant has fled or there is a risk that he might do so;
c) when, by reason of the particular circumstances of the fact and of the defendant’s character, there exists the risk that he would commit serious criminal offences similar to the one he is being prosecuted for.

Article 229 Criteria for establishing personal precautionary measures
1. In establishing any precautionary measures, the court shall consider the suitability of each of them with the level of precautionary needs in the actual case.
2. Each measure must be proportionate to the seriousness of the facts and to the sanction foreseen for the concrete criminal offence. The continuity, repetition and as well as mitigating or aggravating circumstances provided for by the Criminal Code shall also be considered. A pre-trial detention measure cannot be ordered if the court deems that, for the crime committed, a conditional sentence could be issued.
3. If the defendant is a minor, the court shall consider his/her highest interest and the request for an uninterrupted concrete educational process.

Article 230 Special criteria for establishing the pre-trial detention
1. Pre-trial detention may be ordered only when all other measures are found inadequate because of the particular danger of the criminal offence and of the defendant.
2. Pre-trial detention cannot be ordered against a woman who is pregnant or has a child under the age of 3 years living with her, a person being in a particularly serious health state or who is older than seventy years or a drug-addicted or alcoholic person, who is undergoing a therapeutic programme by a special institution.
3. In the cases referred to in paragraph 2, pre-trial detention may be ordered only where there are reasons of a special importance and for crimes, which are punishable not less than ten years’ imprisonment in the maximum term.
4. Minors accused of a criminal misdemeanour may not be arrested.

Article 231 Replacement or joining of personal precautionary measures
1. In case of breach of the obligations concerning a precautionary measure, the court may order its replacement or joining with another more severe precautionary measure, considering the seriousness, reasons and circumstances of the breach. For the breach of obligations related to an interdicted measure, the court may decide its replacement or joining with a coercive measure.

CHAPTER II ISSUANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES

1. The decision establishing a precautionary measure shall contain, under penalty of invalidity:

b) a summary description of the facts, indicating the legal provisions considered as violated;
