Question juridique clé
Whether the Bundesstrafgericht’s order confirming seizure of the devices was lawful
Solution extraite
The seizure was lawful because there was sufficient initial suspicion of an offence under the Gambling Act and the devices could be relevant evidence and likely subject to confiscation.
Motifs extraits
At the investigation stage only an objectively justified initial suspicion is required. The devices may have been used as gambling devices in a non-concessioned venue, and confiscation is permissible even if title rests with a third party.
