If the assets can no longer be found in the place where they were seized, the bailiff orders the debtor to inform him within eight days of their whereabouts and, if they have been seized for sale, to inform him of the name and address either of the bailiff who carried out the seizure or of the creditor on whose behalf it was carried out.
If no reply is received, the creditor may refer the matter to the enforcement judge, who may order that this information be provided under penalty without prejudice to criminal proceedings for misappropriation of seized assets.
