An asylum application does not automatically halt extradition but creates a parallel protection procedure. The asylum decision of the Federal Office for Migration and Refugees (BAMF) is not binding in extradition proceedings (Section 6 of the Asylum Act), so the extradition court assesses the risk of persecution itself, although a grant of refugee status is an important factor. Provisional detention may continue while both procedures are pending. Strategic timing and coordination between asylum and extradition defence is critical to maximise protection.
