Subject to the provisions of the following four paragraphs, the criminal court may neither apply measures that would replace the confiscation order, nor modify the nature of the confiscated property or the amount subject to the confiscation order.
Where the person concerned is able to provide proof of total or partial confiscation in another State, the criminal court, after consulting the competent authority of the issuing State, shall deduct in full from the amount to be confiscated in France any fraction already recovered in that other State pursuant to the confiscation order.
Where the competent authority of the issuing State consents, the criminal court may order the payment of a sum of money corresponding to the value of the property in lieu of confiscation.
Where the confiscation order relates to a sum of money that cannot be recovered, the criminal court may order the confiscation of any other available property up to the amount of that sum of money.
Where the confiscation order relates to property that could not be confiscated in France in respect of the acts committed, the criminal court shall order that it be enforced within the limits provided by French law for similar acts.
