English translation of the principle

The existence of external manifestations that in themselves indicate that the offence has occurred. Sufficient to establish a state of flagrante delicto. - The accused's confession immediately upon arrest implicating another person who was not at the scene of the incident. Police officers proceeding to that person's location and arresting him. A valid procedure. The judgment is not vitiated if it does not address it with specific reasons. Reason therefor.
Arabic original
وجود مظاهر خارجية تنبئ بذاتها عن وقوع الجريمة. كاف لقيام حالة التلبس. - اعتراف المتهم فور القبض عليه على شخص آخر لم يكن بمحل الحادث. انتقال رجال الشرطة إلى مكان هذا الشخص والقبض عليه. إجراء صحيح. لا يعيب الحكم إن لم يتناوله بأسباب خاصة. علة ذلك.
