Civil forfeiture and illicit enrichment

About the project:

The Institute of Legislative Ideas researched the practice of application, issues, current status, prospects, and international experience of civil forfeiture and illicit enrichment. We started the analysis of this issue in 2020 when members of parliament submitted to the Constitutional Court of Ukraine a petition regarding the unconstitutionality of certain provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On Prevention of Corruption," the Criminal Code of Ukraine, the Civil Procedure Code of Ukraine, and other related laws of Ukraine affecting the rights and freedoms of citizens.

Duration:
2020-2021
Results:

The Institute of Legislative Ideas has argued that these mechanisms are constitutional: the provisions on criminal liability for illicit enrichment and the instrument of civil forfeiture are in line with the Constitution of Ukraine.
