Correction of civil forfeiture order: clarification of the value of criminal proceeds to be confiscated

The Federal Court of Justice (6th Criminal Senate) dismissed the defendant's appeal as unfounded, thereby upholding the conviction and procedural rulings of the Landgericht Ansbach, while simultaneously correcting the forfeiture decision to order the confiscation of the value of criminal proceeds in the specific amount of 370 EUR; the defendant bears the costs of the appeal. The dispute centered on the proper enforcement of criminal forfeiture regarding the defendant's criminal proceeds, with the General Public Prosecutor intervening to clarify the scope of the initial confiscation order. The decisive legal basis involves the substantive requirements for the confiscation of the value of criminal proceeds under German criminal procedure law, specifically the power of the appellate court to re-formulate confiscation orders to ensure legal clarity and compliance with statutory limits when the original lower court decision was insufficiently precise.
