Removing the seizure of property after the completion of criminal proceedings - legal assistance
Seizure of property is one of the preventive measures used in criminal proceedings to ensure confiscation, recovery of damages or other legal purposes. However, upon completion of the criminal proceedings, especially in case of acquittal or absence of grounds for confiscation, the lifting of the seizure becomes an urgent issue. In this article, we will look at how a lawyer can help resolve this issue, what legal procedures are provided for by law, and what you need to know to successfully lift the seizure of property.
It is important to understand that the imposition of a seizure does not mean the final loss of ownership of the property. The owner has the right to challenge the seizure and demand its removal if there are legal grounds for doing so. Timely contacting a lawyer allows you not only to protect your rights but also to avoid further complications that may arise due to the delay in the process.
What is property seizure and when is it applied?
The seizure of property is a temporary restriction of property rights that is applied by a court decision in criminal proceedings. The main purpose of such a measure is:
- Securing evidence: Property can be seized if it is material evidence in a case.
- Guarantee of compensation for damages: The seizure ensures that a judgment for damages can be enforced in favor of the victim.
- Possible confiscation: In the case of a guilty verdict, property may be confiscated.
The seizure of property is imposed by a decision of the investigating judge at the request of the investigator, prosecutor or victim. However, upon completion of the criminal proceedings, if there are no grounds for keeping the property under arrest, the owner has the right to demand its removal.
In some cases, the seizure of property may also be applied in civil or commercial cases, if there is a risk that the debtor will evade its obligations. However, the procedure for lifting the seizure in such cases has its own peculiarities, which also require a professional legal approach.
When can the seizure be lifted?
The seizure of property may be lifted in the following cases:
- Acquittal: If the court finds the defendant not guilty, the seizure of property should be lifted automatically.
- Closure of criminal proceedings: In case of absence of corpus delicti or other grounds for continuing the investigation.
- No grounds for confiscation: If the property is not subject to confiscation or is not used as evidence.
- Violation of the seizure procedure: If the decision to arrest was made in violation of procedural rules.
In each of these cases, a lawyer can assist in preparing the necessary documents, representing you in court, and ensuring that the seizure is lifted as soon as possible.
In addition, in cases where the seizure was imposed without sufficient grounds or in violation of the owner's rights, the lawyer can initiate additional procedures to restore justice. This may include filing complaints against the actions of investigative authorities or appealing to higher authorities.
Lifting the arrest guarantees the return of your property to your full disposal.

What is the procedure for lifting the arrest?
The procedure for lifting an arrest involves several important steps:
- Analysis of the grounds for arrest: The lawyer examines the case file to determine the legality of the arrest and the possibility of its removal.
- Preparation of the application: An application to the court is prepared with a request to lift the seizure of the property, indicating the relevant grounds.
- Consideration of the case in court: The judge reviews the application, hears the arguments of the parties, and decides whether to lift or stay the arrest.
- Execution of the court decision: In case of a positive decision, the seizure is lifted and the property is returned to the owner.
The involvement of a lawyer at each of these stages is important, as any mistake or non-compliance with the procedure may lead to a delay in the process.
It is also important to remember that the court's decision to lift the arrest may be appealed by the other party. Therefore, you should carefully prepare for each court hearing and be prepared for additional procedures.
