he poses serious threats, the judge shall require him to commit to behave properly and to provide sufficient surety for this purpose. The commitment for good behavior shall be made for a period of one to five years. The surety shall be given in the form of a bond or a security. The judge shall determine the duration of the commitment and the amount of the security to be provided according to the nature, seriousness and the more or less dangerous nature of the preparatory acts carried out or the threats made and according to the personal and material situation of the offender or his guarantors. The criminal court of the offender’s place of residence or of the place where the acts were carried out or threats were made is competent to rule on these measures. The Public Prosecutor’s Office shall refer the matter to the court by ex officio proceedings or at the request of the threatened party. Article 92: If it is ascertained that the individual referred to in the preceding article is unable to provide the surety requested, and that this situation is not attributable to his fault, the judge shall substitute for the said surety, and for a period equal to that set for the commitment, one or more of the measures provided for in articles 87 and 88. If he refuses to take the commitment or if, in bad faith, he does not provide the promised surety within a fixed period, the judge may compel him to do so by ordering against him, for a period equal to that fixed for the commitment, a ban on appearing in certain places, with or without one or more of the measures provided for in Articles 87 and 88. If, in the meantime, the required bonds are provided, the alternative measures referred to in the two preceding paragraphs shall immediately cease to have effect. Article 93: When the period of probation provided for in the commitment has elapsed without the offence, which was feared to have been committed, the bonds shall be lifted and the sums deposited shall be returned. Otherwise, the sums deposited are acquired by the State without prejudice to the penalties and security measures applicable to the said offence.
