Moreover, the car will be taken away even if it is jointly owned by the suspect and other persons, the court said.
“If it is not possible to seize a vehicle due to its use, sale or for any other reason (e.g. donation, loss, destruction), the court will pronounce a guilty verdict for lack or insufficiency of the resources that may be confiscated in the amount of the value of this item, decides to confiscate other property proportionate to its value,” the clarification said.
