Agency for the management and recovery of seized and confiscated asset

Can you receive compensation?

If you are a victim of an offense and the justice system has confiscated assets belonging to the offender, you may be compensated using the proceeds from the sale of these assets.

Compensation is possible only under certain conditions. The assets and funds confiscated from the offender can be used to compensate you, even if the assets were purchased with money obtained from theft or fraud. If the offender has been ordered to pay you legal costs not covered by the State, you can also request payment from the sale of their confiscated assets.
You must submit a request to the Agency for the Management and Recovery of Seized and Confiscated Assets (AGRASC). The request must be made within 6 months of the date of the judgment awarding you compensation.

Would you like to apply for the social allocation of a confiscated property?

As part of the social allocation of confiscated real estate, AGRASC publishes a call for expressions of interest (EOI) for each eligible property.

Check your eligibility!

Under the law of April 8, 2021, improving the effectiveness of proximity justice and criminal response, general interest associations, as well as associations and foundations recognized as being of public utility, may temporarily benefit from misappropriated assets that have been subject to a final confiscation decision by the courts.

An association wishing to benefit from the allocation of a seized or confiscated property must submit an application file, which must include, in particular, a description of the intended use of the property and its contribution to the public interest. It must comply with the requirements specified in each dedicated call for applications.
The allocation of real estate properties is temporary. It is not a donation. It is governed by a contract, which may be either a precarious occupation agreement for private domain or a lease agreement.
