《刑法》允许对全部或部分通过犯罪获得的资产予以没收。此外，如果法院裁 定该人犯有刑事罪，并处以三年以上监禁，法院应将没收范围扩大到罪犯名下 的来历不明资产，除非罪犯能够证明资产系用合法获得的资金购得。实施犯罪所用的物品或材料应予以没收。应检察官的请求，并依据初步调查法官的命令或法院裁决，可扣押任何财产以便为民事诉讼、没收、没收的替代处罚或罚款提供保证。如果情况紧急，可在没有法官许可的情况下没收财产，但应在二十四小时内通知法官获得许可。如 果法官不予许可，应当立即归还财产。目前，收缴和没收的资产由地方当局管理。爱沙尼亚正在考虑建立一个中央机 构来管理这些资产。审议组注意到了这一事态发展，并鼓励爱沙尼亚加快建立 这样一个机关。根据反洗钱法，金融情报部门可以冻结资产最长 30 天。如果财产所有人或占有人未能提交证据证明其财产的合法来源，财产可能被冻结最长 60 天。《刑事诉讼法》还载有各项措施，允许有关当局利用审讯或监视措施，识别、跟踪或冻结以便最终没收。
The Penal Code allows for the confiscation of assets acquired in full or in part through an offence. Furthermore, if a court convicts a person of a criminal offence and imposes a sentence of more than three years, the court shall extend such confiscation to unexplained assets belonging to the perpetrator, unless the perpetrator can prove that the assets were acquired by legally obtained funds. Objects or substances used for the commission of a crime are subject to confiscation. At the request of a prosecutor, and on the basis of an order of a preliminary investigation judge or a court ruling, any property may be seized to secure a civil action, confiscation, substitution of confiscation, or fines. In cases of urgency, property may be seized without the permission of the judge, but the judge shall be notified within twenty-four hours to grant permission. If the judge refuses to grant permission, the property shall be released immediately. Currently, local authorities manage seized and confiscated assets. Estonia is considering establishing a central agency to administer such assets. The reviewers took note of this development, and encouraged Estonia to expedite the establishment of such an authority. Under the anti-money laundering law, the FIU can freeze assets for up to 30 days. If the owner or possessor of a property fails to submit evidence of the legal origin of the property, property may be frozen for up to 60 days. The Criminal Procedure Code also contains measures enabling relevant authorities to identify, track, or freeze for eventual confiscation, by using interrogation or surveillance measures.
