| Assets Seizure in Europe: Legislative and Operational Instrument to Counter Corruption and Organized Crime
|
| |
 On March 2, 2004 Coalition 2000 organized a round table on the legislative and operational aspects of assets seizure. The discussion took place soon after the Bulgarian Draft Law on Forfeiture to the State of Any Property Acquired by Criminal Activity, developed by the Ministry of Interior, was adopted by the Government for submission to the Parliament. The event was a continuation of Coalition 2000’s efforts to contribute to the process of elaborating legal framework of assets forfeiture in Bulgaria. 
The discussion brought together foreign experts, representatives of the legislature, the executive and the judiciary, lawyers, and representatives of civil organizations. The objective of the round table was to present the foreign experience in implementing assets forfeiture mechanisms and to discuss the latest version of the Bulgarian draft law, which was considerably improved following the two previous discussions on the subject, organized by Coalition 2000 in 2002.
