Art. 230 Release from preventive detention during the proceedings before the court of first instance
1The accused and the public prosecutor may file an application for release from detention during the proceedings before the court of first instance. 2The application must be submitted to the director of proceedings in the court of first instance. 3If the director of proceedings grants the application, he or she shall release the accused from detention immediately. If the director of proceedings does not wish to grant the application, it shall be passed on to the compulsory measures court for a decision to be made. 4The director of proceedings in the court of first instance may also order the accused to be released from detention provided the public prosecutor consents. If the public prosecutor does not consent, the compulsory measures court decides. 5The provisions of Article 228 also apply mutatis mutandis. |
