83However, in adopting Decision 2011/172, the Council did not itself declare the persons referred to in Article 1(1) thereof guilty of conduct punished under Egyptian criminal law or the law of an EU Member State. In addition, it did not encourage the ‘public’ to believe incorrectly in the guilt of those persons. Lastly, it did not prejudge the assessment of the facts by the competent court, in Egypt. The Council simply specified that the various categories of person referred to in paragraph 67 above were to have their assets frozen, which, as made clear in paragraph 77 above, does not itself have any criminal-law aspect.
