Law of Criminal Procedure

If the crime relates to the possession of real property, the court may, during the proceedings, issue an order that such real property be expropriated and placed at the court’s disposal. If a person is convicted of a crime coupled with the use of force, and if the court finds that a person was dispossessed of a real property by the use of such force, it may issue an order to return such property to the dispossessed person, without prejudice to the rights of others to said property.
