Sub-chapter 2 Extradition to Foreign States
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. Section 77 (2) of the Code of Criminal Procedure will apply accordingly to the decision-making about the apprehended person.
(2) Section 71 (1), sentence three, Sub-section 2 (b), Section 72 to 72b, Section 73b (1), (3) to (5), (6) sentence two, Section 73c (a) and Section 74a of the Code of Criminal Procedure will not apply to further procedure concerning the preliminary custody. Other provisions of Chapter four, Sub-division one of the Code of Criminal Procedure will apply accordingly, therewith where these provisions refer to pre-trial proceedings, it will be understood as preliminary investigation.
(3) The public prosecutor will release the person concerned by the extradition from preliminary custody, if the preliminary investigation has been initiated without receiving a request for extradition of a foreign state and this request was not delivered to the Ministry within 40 days following the day of imposing the preliminary custody; this does not apply in case of simplified extradition. 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.
(4) The judicial authority will notify the Ministry of taking the person into preliminary custody and on his release from this custody.
