The #JHA Council has adopted the directive on freezing and confiscation of assets and property acquired via crime. It provides more possibilities for confiscation in case a suspect flees or because of illness cannot attend the court proceedings. It also provides extended powers for confiscation. The EU member states will have two years and a half after the directive enters into force to adopt the respective legislation. The problem is, though, that this is a directive, not a regulation, which allows the national authorities to adopt whatever legislation they like. Britain and Denmark do not take part in the directive the full text of which you can read here euinsi.de/oIqA euinsi.de/SrWY
