Correction of joint liability for confiscation of criminal proceeds in a criminal revision

The Federal Court of Justice (BGH) rejected the defendant's revision as unfounded, thereby upholding the Aachen Regional Court's conviction and sentencing, with the specific modification that the defendant bears liability as a joint debtor for the confiscation amount of €38,300. The dispute centered on a criminal appeal challenging the lower court's judgment regarding the scope of accessory confiscation and the defendant's financial liability for the seized value. The court determined that the trial court erred in its allocation of liability for the confiscation funds, correcting the judgment to ensure the defendant is held jointly liable for the full amount in accordance with the statutory principles governing the recovery of criminal proceeds and accessory sanctions.
