Article 201-2

①A public prosecutor or judicial police officer may, when finding it necessary with regard to the particulars identifying an individual (meaning the name, address and other particulars that would identify the individual; the same applies hereinafter) of the persons set forth in the following items, request a judge, simultaneously with the request under the main clause of Article 199, paragraph (2), to deliver an extract of the arrest warrant that does not contain those particulars identifying an individual or other substitute for the arrest warrant, as what is to be shown to the suspect.

②When a judge has received a request under the preceding paragraph and issues an arrest warrant pursuant to the provisions of Article 199, paragraph (2), the judge is, at the same time, to deliver, as the document to be shown to the suspect, an extract of the arrest warrant stating an outline of the alleged facts of the crime in a manner that does not disclose the particulars identifying an individual pertaining to the request, or other document in lieu of the arrest warrant; provided, however, that this does not apply when it is clear that the person pertaining to the request does not fall under the persons set out in item (i) or (ii) of the preceding paragraph.

③When a document in lieu of an arrest warrant has been delivered pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, the document in lieu of the arrest warrant may be shown to the suspect when arresting the suspect through the arrest warrant.

④When a document in lieu of an arrest warrant has been delivered pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2), if the document in lieu of the arrest warrant cannot be shown because it is not in the possession of the person arresting, and when there is urgency, a suspect may be arrested through the arrest warrant, notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1) of the preceding Article and the provisions of Article 73, paragraph (3) as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph (2) of that Article, by informing the suspect of an outline of the alleged facts of the crime in a manner that does not disclose those of the particulars identifying an individual stated in the arrest warrant that are not stated in the document in lieu of the arrest warrant, and informing the suspect that an arrest warrant has been issued; provided, however, that the document in lieu of the arrest warrant must be shown as promptly as possible.
