elkobzásra

Elkobzásra is the Hungarian expression used in legal contexts to indicate that a property or asset is to be confiscated or seized by state authorities. The base noun elkobzás means confiscation or seizure; elkobzásra is the case form used in sentences to express purpose or designation, such as “elkobzásra kerülő ingóság” (items to be confiscated).

In practice, confiscation is a procedure applied by courts or public prosecutors within criminal or administrative proceedings to secure assets that are tied to a crime, are proceeds of crime, or are instrumental to criminal activity. It serves to deprive the owner of control over the property and to prevent dissipation of assets that may be relevant to the case or to satisfy penalties or claims.

The process generally involves a legal decision or order, notification to the owner or possessor, and the securing of the assets. Depending on the jurisdiction and context, it can be provisional (temporary) or permanent, and it may be subject to appeal or review. The exact rules regarding scope, duration, and remedies vary by law and by the nature of the proceeding.

The effect of elkobzás is that the seized property is removed from the possessor’s control and, upon final judgment, may transfer to the state or be used to satisfy penalties, fines, or claims. In some cases, the owner may later challenge the seizure or seek compensation if the confiscation is later deemed unlawful or unjustified.

The term appears in official documents, court rulings, and administrative decisions, and is commonly discussed alongside related measures such as provisional seizure and final confiscation.
