Forfeiture of real property in Polish and Lithuanian criminal law
ENThis paper is a comparative evaluation of forfeiture regulations, including the possibility of real property forfeiture under Polish law and the law in force on the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. As a legal institution which induces the offender to consider that committing a prohibited act is hardly profitable, forfeiture is more effective than severe penalties, as its overarching goal is to deprive criminal activity of its economic sense. This is achieved through seizure of assets and proceeds derived from an offence. Lithuanian forfeiture laws are in many respects similar to Polish solutions. Their detailed analysis may form an inspiration to contemplate changes in institutions well known to Polish criminal law theorists. Keywords: forfeiture, seizure of assets, punishment, criminal law measure. [From the publication]
