The attorneys of the Office provide legal assistance and represent individuals and legal entities (including foreign ones) whose property is subject to seizure within criminal proceedings.
Also, the attorneys of the Office provide legal assistance and represent natural and legal (including foreign) persons in proceedings regarding criminally acquired property, which are separated from basic criminal proceedings in order to recognize property as criminally acquired, confiscate and credit it to the state budget of the Republic of Latvia.
Our Office handles dozens of cases of clients whose property has been seized in criminal proceedings and in respect of which proceedings regarding criminally acquired property have been initiated. The cases of these clients are at different stages – in the investigation authority, in the court of first instance, and in the court of appeal. In many cases, court rulings have been passed on the termination of proceedings regarding criminally acquired property, which are based on in-depth analysis of evidence, as well as national and international case-law, conducted by our office.
