SURRENDER OF THE PERSON (EXTRADITION)

Article 462. Temporary arrest

The temporary arrest for 40 days or another established by the corresponding international treaty of Ukraine term is applied against the detained person who has committed a crime outside of Ukraine till the receipt of request on surrender of such person.

If the maximum term of temporary arrest provided by paragraph 1 of this article, expires, and the request on surrender of such person is not received, the person shall be immediately released from arrest.

The body of inquiry, which has detained the person, files upon the consent of the public prosecutor to court (located in a region of detention) a petition on application of temporary arrest. The public prosecutor has the right to file such petition.

The petition is attached with:
1) the report of detention of the person;
2) documents containing the data on commitment by the person of a crime in the territory of foreign state and establishing a preventive measure against such person by the competent body of foreign state;
3) documents confirming identity of the detained person.

Petition shall be considered within seventy two hours from the moment of detention of the person.

Considering a petition the judge establishes the identity of the detained person, proposes him to make the statement, checks out existence of the documents provided by subparagraph 2 of paragraph 3 of this article, hears the opinion of the public prosecutor, other participants and passes resolution on:
1) application of temporary arrest;
2) refusal in application of temporary arrest if for its choosing there are no bases. The resolution of the judge can be appealed by the public prosecutor, the person against whom temporary arrest is applied, his defender or the lawful representative before the court of appeal within three days from the date of passing of the resolution. Appeal against the resolution of the judge does not cease entry into force of such resolution and its execution. The ruling of the court of appeal is not subject to appeal; it can not be appealed by cassation petition of the public prosecutor.

Discharge of the person from temporary arrest in connection with untimely receipt by the central body of request on surrender does not interfere with application to such person of extradition arrest in case of reception subsequently of such request.

In case of receipt of the request on surrender of the person (extradition) before the
termination of term of temporary arrest established by the court, the resolution of the judge on application of temporary arrest becomes invalid from the moment of passing by the court of ruling on application extradition arrest against this person.
