Type: Judgment

Authority: European Authorities: Euopean Union' Court of Justice

Date: 01/10/2019

Subject: The Court affirmed that Framework Decision 2006/783/JHA on the application of the principle of mutual recognition to confiscation orders must be interpreted as not precluding the application of the legislation of an executing State which, for the purpose of enforcing a confiscation order adopted in an issuing State, authorises, where necessary, a term of imprisonment to be imposed. According to the Court, the fact that the legislation of the issuing State also authorises possible recourse to a term of imprisonment has no bearing on the application of such a measure in the executing State
