Can I challenge my detention in Switzerland while extradition proceedings are ongoing?

You can file an appeal against extradition detention with the Federal Criminal Court within 10 days of the detention order. Grounds include disproportionality, lack of flight risk, or fundamental defects in the extradition request. The court may order release with conditions such as reporting obligations or financial guarantees. Detention is subject to strict proportionality review, and prolonged detention without progress in proceedings may itself become unlawful. Separate challenges to the underlying Red Notice before Interpol’s CCF can proceed in parallel.
