Police must return 400,000 crowns to Jansta. Failed to prove criminal origin of funds
The police will have to return 400,000 crowns that were seized in connection with criminal proceedings. The money was in the possession of a man with the surname Jansta. Investigators failed to sufficiently document that this sum came from criminal activity.
The seizure of financial resources is a common occurrence in criminal cases. The police may confiscate money if there is suspicion that it is proceeds from illegal activity. However, to permanently seize it, it is necessary to prove its unlawful origin.
In this case, investigators failed to adequately justify this evidentiary measure. The decision to return the money thus stems from the principle of presumption of innocence and the requirement for proper justification of all interventions into property rights.
