Correction of joint debtor designation in forfeiture order for criminal proceeds

The Federal Court of Criminal Justice (BGH) partially granted the defendant's appeal, ordering a procedural correction to the prior judgment which stands otherwise in force, while dismissing the remainder of the appeal and imposing costs on the appellant. The dispute concerned a criminal conviction where the defendant challenged the judgment regarding the forfeiture of proceeds from crime. The decisive legal issue was the incomplete specification of joint and several liability in the forfeiture order for a sum of €8,525; the BGH ruled that the lower court's judgment was defective in this procedural aspect and mandated that the text be supplemented to explicitly designate the defendant as a joint debtor for the specified amount.
