| Summary: | This paper is a comparatist evaluation of forfeiture regulations, including the possibility of real property forfeiture under the Polish law and the law in force in the territory of the Republic of Lithuania. Being a legal institution that induces the perpetrator to realize the unprofitableness of committing a prohibited act, forfeiture is more effective than severe penalties, as its supreme goal is to deprive criminal activity of an economic sense. This is achieved through seizure of property and attachment of proceeds from crime. Lithuanian forfeiture laws are in many respects similar to Polish solutions.
Their detailed analysis may be an inspiration to contemplate changes in institutions well known to
Polish financial criminal lawyers.
