Abstract

The social reality presents a strong economic and technological development, nowadays the money laundering acts have a continuous development, therefore the lack of control over this phenomenon can undermine the financial stability of the rule of law. In order to discourage organized crime, it is essential that offenders be disposed of by the proceeds of crime. In this respect, the confiscation and recovery of assets held by criminals is an effective way of combating organized crime. Confiscation prevents the use of criminal assets as a source of funding for other criminal activities, thus removing the danger of corrupting society. Moreover, the need to combat organized crime is on the agenda of the international community and the European community, which, through its legal instruments, regulated this safety measure.
