In
this
regard
,
the
present
judgment
chimes
with
the
spirit
of
the
age
.
Unfortunately
,
the
majority
seem
misguided
by
a
strictly
efficiency‑interests‑oriented
approach
to
criminal
law
.
As
pointed
out
in
the
joint
dissent
,
paragraph
260
of
the
present
judgment
looks
very
much
like
an
unconvinced
effort
to
rubber
-
stamp
confisca
urbanistica
senza
condanna
on
the
basis
of
the
non
-
negotiable
need
to
“
prevent
crime
”
and
fight
against
“
complex
crime
”
,
whatever
that
may
mean
.
This
kind
of
reasoning
is
part
and
parcel
of
the
now
prevailing
ideologically
retrogressive
policy
mix
composed
of
a
purely
retributivist
approach
to
criminal
law[157
]
,
a
strictly
police
-
interests
-
driven
criminal
procedure[158
]
,
a
purposefully
hardened
“
just
deserts
”
prison
law[159
]
and
a
truly
inhuman
“
crimmigration
”
policy[160
]
,
while
it
provides
no
justice
whatsoever
for
victims
of
serious
crimes
such
as
torture[161
]
.
Such
liberticidal
case
-
law
shows
the
worst
face
of
Europe
in
recent
criminal
law
history
,
as
if
Dei
Delitti
e
delle
Pene
had
never
been
written
.
