Is this measure possible in your Member State under International Judicial Cooperation?

See under section 501, 1 Furthermore, According to the Dutch law seized goods can be sold after seizure during the criminal procedure in anticipation of the confiscation order in the end. This sale by public auction before the judgment can only be done if the good is not suitable for storage, if there is a discrepancy between the value of the good and the storage costs (f.e. if the good decreases in value during storage) and if the good is replacable and the value can easily be determined. It is also possible that the suspect or the person under whom the good was seized pays a security for the good. In that case the good can be returned to the suspect/the person under whom the good was seized. The public prosecutor can decide whether or not this opportunity will be used.
