Joint liability in criminal confiscation orders upon dismissal of revision

The Federal Court of Justice (6th Criminal Division) rejected the defendant's appeal as unfounded against the judgment of the Nuremberg-Furth Regional Court, thereby upholding the conviction, while modifying the decision regarding the confiscation of proceeds to expressly establish the defendant's liability as a joint debtor. The dispute concerned a criminal prosecution in which the defendant challenged the lower court's ruling, specifically the handling of asset confiscation within the criminal judgment. The decisive legal basis involves the statutory framework for criminal revision proceedings and the specific civil-law characterization of liability (joint and several debt) arising from criminal confiscation orders, ensuring the enforceability of the forfeiture against the defendant.
