Questão jurídica principal
Whether the land registry freezes were proportionate and permissible against a third-party company controlled by the suspect.
Decisão extraída
Yes. In this procedural stage, a criminal-law ‘piercing’ to the controlled company was justified to secure confiscation-related claims.
Fundamentação extraída
The suspect dominated the company and could have caused sale of the properties and repayment of seized shareholder loans, thereby undermining the seizure. The measures were narrowly aimed at securing the proceedings and were proportionate despite affecting a non-accused third party.
