AI generated

The court overturned the lower court's decision to confiscate assets, ruling that the confiscation claim must be dismissed. The defendant argued for asset seizure based on a prior conviction, but the second instance court found the original sentence had been reduced to probation. Consequently, the court held that confiscation is only applicable when the sentence involves actual deprivation of property, which was not the case here.
