INSTITUTING CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS
Article 96. Surrender
Surrender refers to personal, voluntary written or oral statement the offender makes to the inquiry agency, inquirer, investigator, prosecutor, judge, or court about crime he/she has committed or prepared to commit, such statement being made before instituting criminal proceedings against such offender. Whenever criminal proceeding has been already instituted based on the presence of indicia of crime, the offender should make such statement before the decision to prosecute him/her is taken.
Oral statement is entered in the record where information on the offender and contents of his/her statement are narrated in the grammatical category of the 1st person singular. The record is signed by the offender and official who drew up the record.
If oral statement of surrender is made in court session, information on the offender and contents of his/her statement are entered on the record of court session and signed by the offender. Presiding judge transmits an excerpt from the record of court session to the appropriate prosecutor within three days.
Written statement of surrender has to be signed by the offender and the official from the inquiry agency, inquirer, investigator, or prosecutor who received such statement, with indication of the date of its receipt.

La persona sometida a detención provisional podrá ser puesta en libertad si el Estado requerido no hubiere recibido la solicitud de entrega y los documentos que la justifiquen, de conformidad con el artículo 91, dentro del plazo fijado en las Reglas de Procedimiento y Prueba. Sin embargo, el detenido podrá consentir en la entrega antes de que se cumpla dicho plazo siempre que lo permita el derecho interno del Estado requerido. En ese caso, el Estado requerido procederá a entregar al detenido a la Corte tan pronto como sea posible.
