Recital 40

(40) Member States are encouraged to take appropriate measures to prevent the property from being acquired, directly or indirectly, in the course of its disposal upon a confiscation order, by persons convicted in the criminal proceedings in which the property has been frozen. Such measures can be limited to property above a certain value and can include the exclusion of certain types of entities from participating in the sale of the property, the requirement of documentation from the buyer or the assessment of any links of the buyer with the convicted person. Member States can apply such measures also for the sale of frozen property.
