English translation
Police officers have the right to arrest without a warrant persons accused of misdemeanours in flagrante delicto. An offence shall be considered in flagrante delicto if committed in the presence of a police officer, or if he arrives at the place of its commission shortly after it was committed and its traces and consequences still conclusively establish its recent occurrence.
