Extended Forfeiture versus Civil Forfeiture

Mihai Garaba

Intellectus, 2024, issue 2, 169-176

Abstract: The article examines two fundamental concepts in the legal field: extended forfeiture and civil forfeiture. Extended forfeiture refers to the process of confiscating assets that are not directly related to a specific criminal offense but are considered to be the general result of criminal activities. Civil forfeiture, on the other hand, involves confiscation of assets in a civil lawsuit, without the need for a prior criminal conviction. The article examines in detail the differences, similarities and legal implications of these two concepts, highlighting their crucial importance in preventing and fighting crime and corruption. By analyzing relevant legal provisions and case law, it provides deep insight into how extended forfeiture and civil forfeiture contribute to the maintenance of public order and safety. These legal tools not only prevent the benefits obtained from illegal activities, but also protect the integrity of the legal system in the face of challenges in contemporary society.
