At the request of the FOJ, the competent authority may temporarily suspend criminal proceedings or the execution of a sentence against a defendant abroad for another offence if:
the sentence imposed in Switzerland is not of great importance in comparison to the one likely to be imposed abroad; or
execution of the sentence in Switzerland does not seem appropriate.
On conclusion of the criminal proceedings abroad, the Swiss authority shall decide whether or not to resume the suspended proceedings or the execution of the penalty.
