Summary: |
The Directive 2014/42/UE of 3 April 2014 on the freezing and confiscation of instrumentalities
and proceeds of crime in the European Union is the latest step taken to date in its' «Crime
doesn' t pay» strategy, which proposes to fight organized crime and the worst forms of economic
crime, which are both profit-seeking, by depriving the proceeds of crime, with the double aim of
discouraging these activities and avoiding the reinvestment of those proceeds in subsequent offenses.
To this end, the limits of the classic seizure, in which there is a clear causal link between the criminal
acts prosecuted and the product, have been broadened, resulting in modern forms of confiscation,
especially confiscation without conviction, third party confiscation and extended confiscation, in which
this nexus is blurred. Possible interference with the principle of presumption of innocence is one of the
concerns about confiscation, and this will be the subject of this communication, in which we will
outline the main positions of jurisprudence, both the ECHR and the Constitutional Court and Supreme
Court. |
