Freezing and confiscation orders

Abstract

Freezing orders are preventive measures designed to temporarily restrain assets associated with suspected criminal activities. They serve as an indispensable tool for preserving the status quo and ensuring that the assets are available for confiscation if eventually proven to be derived from criminal conduct. Therefore, freezing orders are often employed during ongoing investigations to prevent the dissipation of assets, ensuring that the full extent of criminal proceeds can be identified and recovered.
