The convicted person may appeal against the decision authorising the execution of the confiscation in France.
The person who holds the property that is the subject of the confiscation order or any other person who claims to have a right to this property may, by means of a request delivered to the registry of the criminal appeals chamber with territorial jurisdiction within ten days of the date on which the decision in question was enforced, lodge an appeal against this decision.
In the event of an appeal against the confiscation order, the Public Prosecutor shall inform the competent authority of the issuing State of the appeal lodged by any means that leaves a written record.
The appeal has suspensive effect but does not allow the substantive reasons for the confiscation order to be challenged.
The court may, by a decision which is not subject to appeal, authorise the issuing State to intervene at the hearing through a person authorised by that State for that purpose or, where appropriate, directly through the means of telecommunications provided for in Article 706-71. When the issuing State is authorised to intervene, it does not become a party to the proceedings.
