Confiscating criminal assets without a prior criminal conviction
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot instelling van de preventieve verbeurdverklaring van goederen van illegale oorsprong ingeval de strafprocedure niet kan worden voortgezet.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The court can permanently confiscate criminal assets when a criminal case cannot continue due to death, illness, flight, or statute of limitations.
- This affects suspects whose criminal trial cannot be concluded, as well as individuals or companies holding their illicit assets.
- Justice authorities can more easily remove criminal profits from the economy, while a judge protects your rights and those of innocent third parties.
