Whether the seizure of CHF 300 should be lifted
The seizure was justified because the lawful origin of the cash was not demonstrated and the money could secure a future confiscation substitute claim.
Under Art. 223 CPP, seizure may secure evidence and future confiscation or compensation claims. Given the admitted cannabis sale, suspected broader trafficking, and implausible savings from EVAM funds, the cash could also serve as substitute value under Art. 71(3) CP.
