The court goes along with this and condemns the demanded prison and one Measure for cost recovery of 100,000 euros per person. They have none of that of three, but Krystyn D. appears to have an apartment that is exclusively in his name. “In the Netherlands,” explains press officer Weijnen.
To be able to seize that house, the OM, assisted by the national lawyer and so-called Packy Experts, went to the civil court in The Hague. He ruled that the OM is in its right. “A trick sounds negative, but it is another legal construction that we have thought of to achieve the same goal.”
Residual amount after auction to the convicted person
D.’s home will therefore be auctioned. More than a ton of the proceeds is deducted to pay D.’s part. “If money is left, it will be settled,” Weijnen guarantees. “He is entitled to that.”
Incidentally, Krystyn D. is free to pay in a different way in a different way. A payment arrangement is also possible. “Not everyone will agree with me, but you can talk to the CJIB (Central Judicial Collection Bureau, Red).”
Even taking out a loan to save his house is possible, says the press officer. “As long as the money comes. That’s a bit of what’s behind it. It’s a pressure.”
The OM is happy with ‘the extra opportunity to take care of criminals who are concerned with drug labs and hemp cultivation’. “That is a profit for society.”
