Confiscation case

If the prosecution believes that you have earned financial benefit from criminal offences, it may file a so-called ‘confiscation claim’ (‘ontnemingsvordering’). In a procedure parallel to or following your criminal case, it will then be assessed whether you have obtained criminal money and, if so, how much it was. Kuyp Baar Advocaten has unique expertise to handle your confiscation case in the best possible way. Our lawyers have extensive experience in handling confiscation cases and have specialised in this area. More specifically, mr. De Zanger has obtained a PhD on the confiscation measure and has written the thesis: De ontnemingsmaatregel toegepast (‘The confiscation measure applied’).

In some cases, it is possible to reach an agreement with the public prosecutor on the amount of illegally obtained benefit. In other cases, this is not possible and the prosecution's confiscation claim must be fully assessed by the court. We have extensive experience in handling your confiscation case both out of court and in court.
