Questão jurídica principal
Whether Art. 44 LP prevents enforcement authorities from treating the criminal allocation as valid despite the alleged illegality of the confiscation
Decisão extraída
The criminal judgment was manifestly unlawful as to the allocation to the injured party because the property was neither crime proceeds nor replacement value, and no formal confiscation decision existed.
Fundamentação extraída
Art. 44 LP leaves confiscation conditions to criminal authorities, but a manifestly unlawful confiscation may be treated as void. Here the funds used had only reduced liabilities and were no longer identifiable in the property; moreover, Art. 73 CP presupposes a prior confiscation order.
