The Court of Cassation annulled the confiscation portion of a lower court's acquittal decision regarding a knife. The defendant was acquitted of a contravention because the alleged fact did not exist, yet the court had ordered the confiscation of the weapon. The court ruled that an acquittal based on the non-existence of the crime precludes the mandatory confiscation of the instrument, requiring its return to the rightful owner.

Art. 240 cod. pen.; Art. 6 legge n. 152/1975: Confiscation of a crime instrument is mandatory upon finding the fact exists, but is precluded when an acquittal is pronounced for the non-existence of the fact, necessitating the return of the item.
