Submit a Restitution Request
Published on : September 30, 2024
What are the conditions for submitting a restitution request ?
Legally, the restitution of seized sums can result from:
- A final decision by a trial court (judgment or ruling) ordering the restitution of all or part of the sealed items or seized property.
- A final restitution order from an investigating judge.
- A final restitution decision by the public prosecutor.
Since February 1, 2011, the law mandates that Agrasc centralizes all seized funds and is responsible for returning them if a court decision orders restitution. Agrasc is thus in charge of the restitution of: cash, sums seized from bank accounts, receivables, proceeds from pre-judgment sales, and digital assets.
In this context, Agrasc informs public creditors.
Beneficiaries of a restitution decision can no longer designate a third party other than their lawyer to receive the sums. If beneficiaries do not have a lawyer and do not have a bank account, they will need to open one, if necessary, by exercising their right to an account.
Procedures
The agency does not have a public counter. Restitution will only be made via bank transfer and only after the beneficiary or their lawyer has submitted a request either:
