Tokens: The
majority
then
reject
the
Government
’s
argument
according
to
which
the
criminal
courts
act
in
the
place
of
the
competent
administrative
authority
(
see
paragraphs
229
-
32
of
the
judgment
)
.
What
the
Government
seem
to
argue
is
that
the
competence
to
order
confiscation
is
primarily
a
competence
of
the
administrative
authorities
,
and
that
the
criminal
courts
have
the
same
competence
,
which
they
can
exercise
in
cases
of
failure
by
the
administrative
authorities
to
make
use
of
theirs
.
In
other
words
,
according
to
the
Government
,
a
confiscation
order
in
a
situation
of
unlawful
site
development
has
the
same
content
,
produces
the
same
effects
and
therefore
is
of
the
same
(
non
-
punitive
)
nature
,
regardless
of
the
authority
by
which
it
is
ordered
(
see
paragraph
191
of
the
judgment
)
.
It
seems
to
us
that
there
is
no
answer
to
the
essence
of
this
argument
,
to
which
we
subscribe
.
