1 In the interest of proceedings carried out in another State and permitted under this Act, the Federal Office may permit transit through Swiss territory and approve the measures required therefor on submission of a request by the State concerned or a third State without hearing the person concerned. There is no right of appeal against the decision and ancillary measures. They shall be notified only to the requesting State.
2 No approval shall be required if the detained person is to be transported by aircraft over Swiss territory without a stopover landing. In the event of an unscheduled stopover landing, the detained person may be kept in custody only if:
a.
the requirements for his arrest under Article 44 are met; or
b.
the State arranging for the transport to be made has previously informed the Federal Office by indicating the reason for surrender and the offence which is the basis for it.
3 Only the Federal Office may interrupt the transit to prosecute an offence or to execute a criminal judgment in Switzerland.
