National Schema on tracing and identifying criminal assets ()
DESCRIPTION: National legal act on identification and tracing of criminal assets. Directive 2014/42/EU establishes the idea that confiscation of criminal proceeds is an essential component of the fight against serious and organised crime, since it deprives criminals of their financial gains and ensures that crime does not pay.

skos:noteThe regulation is part of the EU's efforts to combat money laundering, corruption, and other serious crimes. It requires member states to establish national centralised offices for the identification, tracing and evaluation of criminal assets. These offices should be able to rapidly exchange information and cooperate with their counterparts in other member states.
skos:definitionThe national regulation on tracing and identifying criminal assets within EU member states is a set of rules and procedures that each member state has to develop and implement in order to comply with the EU regulation on this matter. The regulation aims to enhance the ability of member states to trace, freeze, manage and confiscate proceeds and instrumentalities of crime in the EU.
