What happens if I am arrested in France before the CCF reaches a decision?

Arrest triggers a separate, parallel track under French extradition procedure. You will be brought before the Procureur de la République within 48 hours and may be placed in provisional detention pending the extradition hearing. The CCF process does not automatically suspend French proceedings, but a pending CCF application — particularly one raising serious political motivation or human rights concerns — can be submitted to the Chambre de l’instruction as supporting evidence. French courts retain full discretion to refuse extradition regardless of Interpol’s position.
