Protection of the Injured Party
Article 76

(1) If the injured party has been awarded his claim for damages in a criminal proceeding by the court, the latter shall order the confiscation of property only insofar as such property exceeds the adjudicated claim of the injured party.

(2) The injured party, which has been committed in a criminal proceeding by the court to bring its claim for the recovery of damages in a civil action, may satisfy its claim from the value of the confiscated property, provided that it brings a civil claim within six months from the final judgement, directing it to bring a civil action, and under the condition that it claims settlement from the value of the confiscated property within three months from the final judgement awarding its claim.

(3) Any injured party, which has not brought its claim for compensation in the form of damages in the course of a criminal proceeding, may satisfy its claim from the value of the confiscated property, provided that it brings a civil action for the adjudication of its claim within three months from the day it became aware of the ruling confiscating the property and at the latest within two years from the final judgement, and with the further proviso that it claims settlement from the value of the confiscated property within three months from the final judgement awarding its claim.
