menettämisseuraamukset

Menettämisseuraamukset refer to legal penalties in Finland that involve the confiscation of property or assets. These penalties are typically imposed in cases of criminal activity where the property has been used in the commission of a crime, is the proceeds of a crime, or is otherwise linked to illegal activities. The primary purpose of menettämisseuraamukset is to deprive offenders of their ill-gotten gains and to deter future criminal behavior by making crime unprofitable.

The legal framework for confiscation is primarily found in the Finnish Criminal Procedure Act. Confiscation can be ordered by a court as part of a criminal sentence. The types of property that can be confiscated are broad and include money, vehicles, real estate, electronic devices, and any other assets that can be proven to be connected to criminal activity. The court must find a sufficient link between the property and the offense for confiscation to be ordered.

There are different grounds for confiscation. Property can be confiscated if it is proven to be the direct proceeds of a criminal offense. Additionally, property that has been used in the commission of a crime, or was intended to be used, can also be subject to confiscation. In some cases, even if the offender does not directly own the property, it can still be confiscated if it is demonstrably linked to their criminal enterprise. The aim is to ensure that individuals do not benefit from their illegal actions.
