If the seizure was ordered by the public prosecutor’s office, the person concerned has the option of lodging an objection on the grounds of violation of the law within six weeks. If the public prosecutor’s office does not comply with the objection within four weeks, the objection is forwarded to the court. If, on the other hand, the seizure is made solely by the criminal police, one has six weeks to file a complaint with the competent regional administrative court.
Each affected person also has the right to apply for a court decision to lift or continue the seizure.
The seizure ends when the criminal police lifts it, the public prosecutor’s office orders the lifting or the court orders the confiscation.
