Confiscation (StGB-CH)
The recovery is in Switzerland in the Art. 69 to 73 of Criminal regulated. Objects and assets that were used, intended for or produced by the commission of a criminal offense will be confiscated, even if they are intended to serve as price or reward for the commission by third parties or belong to a criminal organization. Objects that endanger security can also be made unusable or destroyed. If assets are no longer available, the court can recognize a claim for compensation that is to be made by the responsible persons to the state.
According to Art. 73, confiscated objects and assets can be used for the benefit of those harmed by the crime. In practice, however, this rarely happens. In contrast to German law, expiry is alien to Swiss law; confiscation therefore does not require a particular type of commission of an act (such as intent) or its particular gravity.
