translate English to French: Article 155 of the Code of Criminal Procedure obliges the investigating authority to seize a prosecuted person’s assets if required for the purposes of a civil action, i.e. when there is damage to be made good, or when subsequent confiscation is possible under the criminal law provisions applicable to the prosecuted offence.
Pour que la confiscation soit possible il faut qu'elle soit nommément prévue parmi les sanctions de l'infraction dont il s'agit.
