Sections 929 et seq. and 935 et seq. regulate the confiscation of tainted property. This is property used in, or in connection with, the commission of a serious offence, or proceeds of crime, including property into which any property derived or realized directly from the offence was later converted, transformed or intermingled property, as well as income, capital or other economic gains derived or realized from such property at any time since the offence. Property destined for use in a corruption offence is not clearly covered in title 11 of the FSM Code; however, section 304(f) of title 12 on search and seizure states that search warrants may be issued for property designed or intended for use in, or property which is, or has been used as the means of committing, a criminal offence. Non-conviction based forfeiture has been considered and is partially addressed in sections 933 and 934 where a person dies or absconds. In case the property has been disposed of, cannot be traced, has been substantially diminished or commingled and cannot be divided without difficulty, forfeiture of the equivalent value is possible (s.940). Tracing, search and seizure are regulated in sections 920 et seq. and 950 et seq. and under chapter 3 on searches and seizure of title 12 of the FSM Code. It was explained that, in practice, the same provisions are used for freezing accounts and that the FSM Code also provides for search warrants to be issued by telephone or other means of communication in case of urgency (e.g. s.951). Bona-fide third parties are protected under various sections, in particular sections 907, 935 and 938. The Supreme Court appoints a receiver of frozen, seized or confiscated property and may give directions (s.966 et seq.).
