SUSPENSION OF THE EXECUTION OF THE INTERNMENT

Article 98
Presuppositions and regime

1. The court that orders the internment determines its suspension instead of that, if it seems reasonable to expect that its goal will be achieved by means of suspension.

2. In the case prescribed in number 2 of the article 91 the suspension can only take place when the conditions enunciated therein are verified.

3.

4. The agent whose internment is suspended is placed under surveillance of the social reinstatement service. The prescriptions of the articles 53 and 54 are correspondingly applicable.

5. The suspension of the execution of internment cannot be decreed if the agent is simultaneously convicted with a custodial sentence and the presuppositions for its suspension are not verified.

6. It is correspondingly applicable to:
a) The suspension of internment that which is prescribed in the article 92 and the number 1 and 2 of the article 93.
