Whether the seizure on the bank account had to be lifted and the balance returned to G.________ Sàrl.
No. The available indications were sufficient to keep the seizure in place, as the funds could be criminal proceeds or derived from an offence.
The court held that seizure is justified when there are sufficient indications that assets served to commit an offence, are proceeds of an offence, or may be confiscated later. Here, the transaction context was unclear, the investor was unidentified, the alleged identity document appeared likely false, and it was probable that the seized amount represented either proceeds of an offence or assets obtained to the detriment of the appellant.
