That is going to depend on the details, isn't it?

See for example the practice of civil forfeiture in the US, where the police is able to seize your property until you prove that it wasn't gained through crime. The proceeds go directly to the police department. So the more passers-by they harass, the sooner the "pennies from heaven" will fund their margarita machine! [0]

I'm not sure how Spanish criminal law works, but even if it does work like in the US, the press release doesn't actually mention any seized funds or property at all
