《充公法》涵盖没收或充公令（第 4 和 10 条；另外，数额变化，即根据财产价值增加命令的数额：第 23 条）、基于非定罪的充公（第 29 条和第 30 条）、搜查 和扣押权力（第 35-40 条）、总检察长保管和保存充公财产（也就是赃物）（第 28 条）、保护第三方（第 12 条；注意到《刑法典》还涵盖善意的权利主张：第 8 条），以及设立一项充公资产基金（第 73 条）。但是，《充公法》可能有局限 性，因为它仅适用于“严重犯罪”，法律为其规定的最高处罚是死刑或不少于 12 个月的监禁；这将排除赞比亚国内法律制度中的多数《反腐败公约》相关罪 行。但是，《反腐败法》第 40 至 44 条涵盖“一般处罚”（即，将任何金钱财产 或利益充公），“归还”（即上述的充公）、“通过扣押财物等方法追还酬金”，以 及“向代理人追还其以腐败手段收取的酬金，以及政府评估官员或其他专业评 估师出具的证明”。 《反腐败法》还重点关注调查腐败做法的各种途径（即在没有法院令的情况下 开展调查）、扣押财产、保管和退还被扣押财产、限制财产的处分，也包括由第 三方的处分（第 50-57 条），以及调查银行记录的权力（第 52 条）。《禁止和防止洗钱法》载有一项专门针对扣押和没收与洗钱相关财产的条款 （第六部分）。
The Forfeiture Act covers confiscation or forfeiture orders (ss. 4 and 10; also, variations i.e. to increase the amount of the order by the value of the property: s. 23),non-conviction based forfeiture (ss. 29 and 30), powers to search and seize (ss. 35-40), the Attorney-General to take custody and preserve forfeited property (also that which has been tainted) (s. 28), protection of third parties (s. 12; noting that the PC also covers a bona fide claim of right: s. 8) and the establishment of a Forfeited Assets Fund (s. 73). However, the Forfeiture Act may be limited in that it applies only to a “serious offence”, which is an offence for which the maximum penalty prescribed by law is death or imprisonment for not less than twelve months; this would exclude most UNCAC-related offences in Zambia’s domestic legal system. However, sections 40 to 44 of the AC Act cover “general penalty” (i.e. forfeiture to the State of any pecuniary property or advantage), “restitution” (i.e. forfeiture as above), “recovery of gratification by distress, etc.”, and “recovery of gratification corruptly received by agent, and the certificate of Government valuation officer or other specialist valuer”. The AC Act further focuses on means to investigate corrupt practices (i.e. conduct a search without a warrant), seizure of property, custody and release of seized property, restriction on disposal of property, also by a third party (ss. 50-57), and the power to investigate bank records (s. 52)The ML Act has a section dedicated to seizure and forfeiture of property in relation to money-laundering (Part VI).
