Conviction upheld with judicial correction to order confiscation of criminal proceeds

The German Federal Court of Justice (BGH) rejected the defendant's appeal as unfounded, upholding the conviction of the Landgericht Wiesbaden while modifying the judgment to order the confiscation of the value of criminal proceeds amounting to €10,797.50. The case involved a criminal appeal in which the defendant challenged the lower court's sentencing or factual findings, specifically disputing the initial handling of illicit gains. The Court based its decision on the provisions regarding the confiscation of the value of criminal proceeds (*Einziehung des Wertes von Taterträgen*), determining that the statutory requirements for such financial sanction were met despite the defendant's objections, and assigned the costs of the appellate proceedings to the defendant.
