Question juridique clé
Whether the Federal Criminal Court was correct to uphold seizure of the share certificate as evidence/proceeds of crime under criminal procedure rules.
Solution extraite
Yes. The suspicion of forged corporate documents was sufficient, and the seized certificate could constitute proceeds of the offense and remain subject to seizure.
Motifs extraits
The alleged falsification directly related to the transfer of the shares; therefore the values seized were sufficiently linked to the offense and could be confiscated later.
