How Bail Works In Germany
A German judge can suspend an arrest warrant if the accused gives security. The security can be cash, securities, a pledge, or a guarantee from suitable persons. The judge decides the amount and type of security at their own discretion.
The statute names suitable persons as guarantors and does not provide for a licensed bail bond business.
