Summary/Abstract: This publication provides a brief overview of the evolution of the Institute of Forfeiture of Illegally Acquired Assets under the Special Asset Forfeiture Act to the State, without claiming a detailed study of the historical development of the Institute. This review aims to outline the main characteristics of the institute, thereby clarifying its independent and independent character from other similar procedures existing in our domestic legislation, to outline the impact of European law on our domestic legislation, the legislative progress achieved and to focus on its preventive function as an instrument in the fight against crimes that have the potential to generate benefits for their perpetrators. The other objective of the study is to clarify the fact that the latest legislative changes are not a step backwards, but have been undertaken in order to differentiate the functions of the two anti-corruption bodies.
