pena de perdimento

English translation: confiscation

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:pena de perdimento
English translation:confiscation

Law/Patents - Law (general) / Direito Penal
Portuguese term or phrase: pena de perdimento
Pena aplicada a mercadorias apreendidas pela Receita Federal Brasileira (geralmente fruto de contrabando).

confiscation or seizure
Explanation:
I am not sure of the legal distinction between the two (and I was even thinking of forfeiture, but this is what my personal glossary note says). This is surely the penalty [pena] in the case you describe. No way will the owner of the goods ever get them back, even if paying a fee. Well, I suppose if he paid the full import tariff, but in some cases the goods, contraband are absolutely prohibited to enter the country, so paying a tariff is not an option.

agree  Claudia Costa: penalty of seizure.

agree  Lincoln Silveira (X): Both will suffice. It applies in certain cases where the brazza revenue service deems a good has entered the country without paying custom duties or its entry is altogether forbidden
49 mins
agree  Muriel Vasconcellos: I found a few (not many!) examples of "confiscation penalty."

expropriation


Explanation:
Bem, se você está procurando uma palavra para a "apreensão" em si, seria "expropriation". Usei muito o termo em uma tradução que falava da possesão por parte do governo das terras ocupadas por uma empresa. Mas, novamente, não acredito ser esta uma "pena" já que o pagamento de multas ou o cumprimento de pena em cadeia ou domiciliar serão associados à apreensão.
