Interim prohibition of surrender to Romania for criminal prosecution pending constitutional review

The German Federal Constitutional Court (Second Senate, Second Chamber) extended the existing interim order prohibiting the surrender of the complainant to Romania for criminal prosecution, maintaining this ban until a final decision on the constitutional complaint or for a maximum of six months. This preliminary injunction arose from a constitutional complaint challenging the respondent authority's decision to execute a European arrest warrant, where the complainant argued that his surrender would violate fundamental rights protected under the German Basic Law. The court’s decision rests on its jurisdiction to issue and renew interim measures under Article 91(1) of the Federal Constitutional Court Act, reaffirming the provisional suspension of the extradition proceedings to protect the applicant's constitutional rights pending the review of the underlying extradition legality.
