Kernrechtsfrage
Whether confiscation under Art. 70(1) CC requires a prior conviction for the underlying offence.
Extrahierter Entscheid
No. Confiscation does not depend on the punishability or conviction of a specific person; it is enough that the assets are the result of an offence.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court held that confiscation is objective and independent of whether the underlying offence was adjudicated against the holder of the assets. X.'s acquittal for money laundering therefore did not bar forfeiture.
