The request for a retrial shall have no effect to suspend the execution of sentence; provided, however, that the public prosecutor of the public prosecutor's office corresponding to the competent court may suspend the execution of sentence until the judgment in the retrial becomes final and binding.
再審の請求は、刑の執行を停止する効力を有しない。ただし、管轄裁判所に対応する検察庁の検察官は、再審の判決が確定するまで刑の執行を停止することができる。
When a public prosecutor of the public prosecutor's office corresponding to the competent court has suspended the execution of the death penalty pursuant to the proviso to the preceding paragraph, the public prosecutor may suspend confinement under Article 11, paragraph (2) of the Penal Code.
public prosecutor
検察官
The official who brings a prosecution (公訴) for a crime before a court (Code of Criminal Procedure, Article 247), and who may decide not to prosecute where, in view of the offender's character, age and circumstances, the gravity and circumstances of the offence and what happened after it, prosecution is not needed (Article 248). In criminal cases a public prosecutor asks the court to apply the law correctly and oversees the carrying out of its judgments; and, as the representative of the public interest, a public prosecutor also does the work other laws and regulations assign to a public prosecutor, which is not limited to criminal cases (Public Prosecutors Office Act, Article 4). A public prosecutor may investigate any crime (Article 6, paragraph (1)). Public prosecutors work through the public prosecutors offices (検察庁): the Supreme, High, District and Local Public Prosecutors Offices (Article 1).
