Spanish term or phrase: a excepcion de xxx por haberse sacado testimonio
This is a case of a person who disappeared while in custody of federal police in a South American country years ago. A criminal court "dicto auto de soreseimiento a excepcion del General XXX, por haberse sacado testimonio, por hallarse fuera del pais". This what the government of that country is saying in answer to the investigation by the Inter-American Court of Human Rights.

the court decided to exceptionally delay the procedure, due to the absence of General XXX at the time, so my response should be more along the lines of "lack of testimony"...

sobreseimiento is definitely "sursis" in French, from the verb "surseoir" = delay, in English
