AI generated

The court acquitted the defendant of charges regarding forgery, money laundering, and perjury while convicting him of possessing 11.51 grams of cocaine. The prosecution sought forfeiture of €2,775 seized from the defendant, but the defense argued the funds were not proceeds of crime. The court ruled that since the proven offense was merely possession and not trafficking or sale, the seized money could not be deemed proceeds of the crime and must be returned.
