A
BILL
To
Establish an act to confiscate proceeds of crime
The people of Democracy Craft, through their elected representatives in the Congress and the force of law ordained to that Congress by the people through the constitution, do hereby enact the following provisions into law:
1 - Short Title and Enactment
(1) This Act may be cited as the 'Proceeds of Crime Act'
(2) This Act shall be enacted immediately upon its signage.
(3) The Act was authoured by: Rep. xEndeavour
(4) This Act was co-sponsored by: Sen. Derpy_Bird
2 - Reasons
(1) The benefits of crime can sometimes outweigh the sentence. This Act's objective is to ensure quick and decisive action can be taken by authorities to confiscate liquidated and tangible assets.
(2) There have been multiple recent incidents where individuals and entities have benefited immensely from the proceeds of crime, due to the authorities being unable to act decisively at the time.
3 - Repeal
Act of Congress - Proceeds of Crime Act
4 - Proceeds of Crime Law
Any property obtained through the commission of a crime, or through the commission of any criminal transaction of which a crime is a part, and includes any appreciation in value of such property.
Fine or civil recovery of an amount up to and equal to the total proceeds of the crime committed.
5 - Authorities
(1) Relevant law enforcement authorities have the power to confiscate assets (liquid or tangible) on the suspicion that the assets may be proceeds of crime.
(2) Any confiscations must be documented and the suspect must be informed.
(3) Relevant authorities have 72 hours to file a case against the suspect in court, otherwise the confiscated assets must be returned.
(4) Relevant authorities will maintain possession of the confiscated assets for the duration of the case, if one is filed, until a verdict is delivered.
(5) A judge may release the confiscated funds back to the suspect, if acquitted. Alternatively, the finds will be redistributed to the victims, if guilty. Failure of the presiding judicial officer to identify victims and their losses will result in the assets being returned to the Government.
