Key legal question
Whether forfeiture under Art. 69 StGB is admissible despite dismissal of the criminal case due to limitation
Extracted holding
Yes. Preventive forfeiture may be ordered even if the predicate offense is time-barred, because it does not require a final criminal conviction.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 69 StGB operates irrespective of a person's criminal liability; an objectively and subjectively unlawful predicate offense is sufficient, and limitation does not preclude preventive forfeiture.
