Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant's third-party claim to the arrested and seized assets was timely or forfeited
Decisão extraída
The third-party claim was not asserted within a useful time and was therefore forfeited.
Fundamentação extraída
A third-party claim must be raised within a useful time under good faith principles; the period depends on the circumstances. Here, more than a year elapsed after the appellant knew the arrest had become effective, and no timely justification for the delay was shown. The appellant's new factual explanation based on an alleged conflict of interest was inadmissible.
