Aanpassing van het Wetboek van Strafvordering, het Wetboek van Strafrecht en de Uitvoeringswet Internationaal Strafhof in verband met de introductie van de mogelijkheid conservatoir beslag te leggen op het vermogen van de verdachte ten behoeve van het slachtoffer

This Dutch bill would amend the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Criminal Code and the International Criminal Court Implementation Act. It would allow prosecutors or courts to place a conservatory attachment (a precautionary freeze) on a suspect's assets. The purpose is to secure funds so that a victim can later receive compensation if the suspect is convicted. The title is based on the Dutch text, and this summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full bill. Suspects in criminal cases in the Netherlands would be affected, since their property could be frozen before trial ends. Victims of crime would gain a practical way to secure compensation. Courts and the prosecution service would need to apply the new powers, and the change would extend to the International Criminal Court implementation rules.
