Court orders defendant to pay €158,364.44 in confiscation based on bank account analysis under Article 36e Sr.

The court ordered the defendant to pay €158,364.44 to the state for confiscation of illegally obtained benefits. Although the defense argued the defendant should be acquitted in the concurrent criminal trial, the court found the bank account analysis sufficient to prove the source of funds was illegal. The decision rests on the presumption that expenditures exceeding legal income constitute illicit gains unless proven otherwise.
