Correction of confiscation order for criminal proceeds in successive judgments

The Federal Court of Criminal Justice dismissed the defendant's revision against the Flensburg District Court's judgment of 10 December 2024, but modified the outcome to order the confiscation of the value of criminal proceeds totaling €3,938.50 and to vacate the prior confiscation decision from the earlier 13 February 2024 judgment, thereby upholding the conviction while correcting the restitution and cost allocation, which the defendant was ordered to bear. The dispute concerned a criminal appeal challenging the lower court's ruling on the confiscation of illicit gains and the maintenance of prior confiscation orders, with the defense arguing against the scope of the financial penalties. The decisive legal basis involved the procedural corrections to the confiscation of criminal proceeds (Einziehung von Taterträgen) and the necessary adjustment of the main judgment to ensure consistency between the two related judgments, as dictated by the General Public Prosecutor's application.
