REGIMUL JURIDIC AL CONFISCÃRII SPECIALE ÎN LUMINA NOULUI COD PENAL

Along with punishments and educational measures, safety measures are part of the broad criminal sanctions category; however, the latter have a mostly preventive purpose, which is to prevent committing new crimes or other offenses provided by the criminal law. Special confiscation is a safety measure whose legal content is patrimonial, as it concerns certain assets related either to the committed deed or to the offender and which, if further left within the factual and legal circuit, could be used to commit new offenses provided by the criminal law. The mainly preventive aim of the special confiscation safety measure is achieved by the fact that, under the conditions and within the limits prescribed by law, property shall pass free of charge into State ownership so that any person may no longer possess or use them to commit other offenses provided by the criminal law.
