82In that connection, it is apparent from the case-law of the European Court of Human Rights that confiscation measures relating to the proceeds of an infringement or unlawful activity or an instrument having been used to commit an infringement which does not belong to a third party in good faith constitute, as a general rule, regulation of the use of property, even if they deprive, by their very nature, a person of his or her property (see, inter alia, ECtHR, 24 October 1986, Agosi v. the United Kingdom, CE:ECHR:1986:1024JUD000911880, § 51; ECtHR, 12 May 2015, Gogitidze and Others v. Georgia, CE:ECHR:2015:0512JUD003686205, § 94; and ECtHR, 15 October 2020, Karapetyan v. Georgia, CE:ECHR:2020:1015JUD006123312, § 32).
