77That interpretation also follows from recital 33 of Directive 2014/42, which states that that directive substantially affects the rights of persons, not only of suspected or accused persons, but also of third parties who are not being prosecuted but are claiming that they are the owner of the property concerned. It is therefore necessary, according to that recital, to provide for specific safeguards and judicial remedies in order to ensure the preservation of their fundamental rights in the implementation of that directive.
