Article 33 - Deferred extradition and temporary surrender
1. If a person whose extradition is requested is serving a sentence for any other crime committed in the territory of Georgia, the extradition of that person may be deferred until such person has served the sentence or until the person has been released from serving the sentence. If a person who is subject to a request for extradition has been charged for a crime committed in the territory of Georgia, the extradition may be deferred until the judgement is delivered, or until the person has served the sentence or until the person has been released on other legal grounds.
2. The extradition of a person to a foreign state may be deferred for humanitarian reasons.
3. A decision on deferring the extradition of a person to a foreign state shall be made by the Minister of Justice of Georgia.
4. If there is a relevant request, the person who is subject to the request may be temporarily surrendered to the requesting state. A request for a temporary surrender shall be reviewed in accordance with the procedure for reviewing extradition requests. A temporary surrender may be carried out on the condition that the person who is subject to the request is returned to Georgia after the expiration of specified time limits.
5. The Ministry of Justice of Georgia may, in accordance with an international or individual agreement of Georgia, submit a request to the relevant foreign authority for the temporary surrender of a person.
1. Si la ejecución inmediata de una solicitud de asistencia interfiriere una investigación o enjuiciamiento en curso de un asunto distinto de aquel al que se refiera la solicitud, el Estado requerido podrá aplazar la ejecución por el tiempo que acuerde con la Corte. No obstante, el aplazamiento no excederá de lo necesario para concluir la investigación o el enjuiciamiento de que se trate en el Estado requerido. Antes de tomar la decisión de aplazar la ejecución de la solicitud, el Estado requerido debería considerar si se podrá prestar inmediatamente la asistencia con sujeción a ciertas condiciones.
2. Si, de conformidad con el párrafo 1, se decidiere aplazar la ejecución de una solicitud de asistencia, el Fiscal podrá en todo caso pedir que se adopten las medidas necesarias para preservar pruebas de conformidad con el párrafo 1 (j) del artículo 93.
