The court ordered the defendant to pay the state €16,011.34 in illicit gains derived from fraud and other crimes. The defense argued for a 10% reduction due to excessive trial delays and an offset against the victim's claim, but the court rejected both. The court found the delay did not warrant a reduction and determined no evidence existed to offset the victim's claim, thus upholding the full amount.

Art. 36e lid 1, 2, 8 WvSr; The court must assess the full amount of illicit gains without reduction for procedural delays unless the delay was excessive, and offsets against victim claims require concrete evidence of insolvency or specific statutory conditions.
