Een alinea uit Parket bij de Hoge Raad 5 juni 2007, ECLI:NL:PHR:2007:BA2269.

47. The Court considers that "confiscation" following on from a conviction - or, to use the same expression as the Netherlands Criminal Code, "deprivation of illegally obtained advantage" - is a measure (maatregel) inappropriate to assets which are not known to have been in the possession of the person affected, the more so if the measure concerned relates to a criminal act of which the person affected has not actually been found guilty. If it is not found beyond a reasonable doubt that the person affected has actually committed the crime, and if it cannot be established as fact that any advantage, illegal or otherwise, was actually obtained, such a measure can only be based on a presumption of guilt. This can hardly be considered compatible with Article 6 § 2 (compare, mutatis mutandis, Salabiaku v. France, judgment of 7 October 1988, Series A no. 141-A, pp. 15-16, § 28).
