Question referred
Where surrender is sought in order to prosecute a requested person, and where the decision to issue an underlying national arrest warrant (‘NAW’) and the decision to issue a European arrest warrant (‘EAW’) are both taken by a public prosecutor, without any involvement of a Court prior to surrender, does a requested person receive the dual level of protection envisaged by the Court in Bob-Dogi C-241/15, (ECLI:EU:C:2016:385) if:
a) |
the effect of the NAW is limited to detaining the individual for a maximum of 72 hours for the purpose of bringing him before a Court; and |
b) |
on surrender, it is solely a matter for the Court whether to order release, or to continue detention, in light of all the circumstances of the case? |
