Appellate Commission Upholds Lien on Property for Unlawful Demolition Forfeiture Security

The appellate commission upheld the registration of a lien on a property parcel following a criminal investigation into the unauthorized demolition of a protected cultural building, initiated by the local council against the construction consortium. The court reasoned that the lien, ordered under the provisions for securing potential forfeiture claims (Art. 71 CC) and provisional procedural measures (§ 115 CPP), was admissible based on a sufficient suspicion that the consortium gained an economic advantage from the illegal act, such as enhanced property values for adjacent units, justifying the preliminary seizure to secure a potential substitute claim, notwithstanding the defendant's arguments regarding proportionality and the nature of the measure.
