Veselin Radulović warns on effectiveness of new asset seizure law
Lawyer Veselin Radulović has commented on the new law regarding the seizure of assets obtained through criminal activity. He noted that while the law aims to reduce the dependence of asset seizure on the final conclusion of criminal proceedings, its actual effectiveness depends on the systematic application of the law by state institutions.
Radulović emphasized that the law allows for the permanent seizure of assets before a final, legally binding criminal verdict is reached. However, he warned that the legislation alone is not a turning point. He argued that without high-quality financial investigations, effective money laundering tracking, and specialized experts to handle complex property structures, the law's impact will remain limited.
He further noted that the new law does not entirely solve the problem of inefficient financial investigations. Radulović suggested that for a serious fight against the mafia, the state must be prepared to implement the law through capable police and prosecution services rather than relying on the existence of the law on paper.
