Objections regarding identity
Art.153 - If the arrested person has objections against the enforcement of the warrant only as far as the identity is concerned, he/she is brought before the court of the place where he/she was found. When it is necessary, the court asks the judge who issued the warrant for information.
Until the objections are clarified, the court, if it considers there is no danger of disappearance, orders the release of the person against whom the warrant has been enforced.
If the court discovers that the person brought is not the one specified in the warrant, it releases him/her immediately, and if it discovers that the objections are not justified, orders the enforcement of the warrant, according to the provisions of art. 152 paragraph 3.
In the cases provided at par. 1 -3, the court orders through closing, that will also be sent to the judge who issued the warrant .
