Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe court rejected the prosecutor's request to confiscate a property acquired by the defendants through tax fraud. The defendants argued that the property was originally owned by one co-defendant and purchased with bank funds, not directly from the crime. The court held that the law did not mandate confiscation and deemed the order unjust given the existing civil debt and enforcement proceedings.
