Key legal question
Whether the anticipated sale of the seized villa under Art. 227a CPP/VD was justified by rapid depreciation or costly maintenance.
Extracted holding
The conditions for anticipated sale were not met; mortgage interest accumulation was neither a costly maintenance expense nor a rapid depreciation on the facts.
Extracted reasoning
The interests, though increasing monthly, were small compared with the villa's value and could potentially be covered by its appreciable surplus value; the measure was therefore disproportionate.
