The Dutch Supreme Court partially overturned a lower court's decision regarding the confiscation of illicit gains from a drug trafficking organization. The appellant argued that the financial report used to calculate the illicit gain was insufficiently motivated, while the lower court had accepted it without further justification. The court agreed that the lower court failed to adequately explain its reliance on the financial report, leading to a reduction in the calculated illicit gain and the corresponding payment obligation.
