Art. 56 [When a person has confessed to an offence, the [prosecutor] may defer
for a specific period an indictment for punishment on account of it as follows.
1. On account of offences committed by young people aged 15–21 years.
2. When the defendant’s condition is such that supervision or other measures
under the third paragraph of Article 57 may be considered more likely than
punishment to produce results, providing that the offence is not of such a nature
that the public interest demands prosecution.
The period of suspension may not be shorter than 1 year or longer than 5 years.
In general, it shall be determined as 2–3 years. [The prosecutor] shall specify in
each individual case when the period begins.
When an indictment is deferred, the conditions enumerated in the third paragraph
of Article 57 may be imposed on the person as considered appropriate. These
conditions may be changed during the suspension period; this authorisation shall
include a lengthening of the period, though not to a total of more than 5 years.
