The Problem of Obtaining Evidence from EU Countries While Achieving the “Crime Does Not Pay” Goal by Šalčius Marijus, Molienė Reda

“…In the context of the European Union’s efforts to fight crime in a comprehensive manner and in line with the European Commission’s Communication of 2008, that confiscation and recovery of proceeds are a powerful means for fighting organized crime effectively and its commitment to support the development of confiscation-related legislative and non-legislative measures1, alternative legal instruments to achieve the “crime does not pay” objective are also being developed, where obtaining evidence from other Member States is also a key issue. In response, the second part of this article analyses the present-day possibilities of collecting evidence in one of these alternative processes, the civil asset confiscation process, which has its origins in the criminal process analyzed in the first part of this article.…”
