Mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders

This procedure concerns the mutual recognition of freezing and confiscation orders issued by judicial authorities in different EU countries. It aims to improve cross-border cooperation in fighting serious crime and recovering illicit assets.

It affects judicial authorities, law enforcement agencies, and individuals involved in criminal proceedings. The goal is to make it easier to freeze and confiscate assets across the EU, thereby disrupting criminal activities and preventing money laundering.
