Confiscation of jointly owned property following conviction of applicant’s husband did not violate right to peaceful enjoyment of her possessions

In the case of Sylvie Vallée v. France the Court held that there had been no violation of the protection of property. The case concerned the confiscation of two properties, owned jointly by the applicant and her husband, in criminal proceedings brought against her husband alone, which had resulted in his conviction for embezzlement.
