Ver explicación Explanation: Michael, no exixte en español un equivalente exacto para "forfeiture". Pero se refiere a la pérdida de un derecho como consecuencia del incumplimiento de una obligación o como penalidad. La posibles traducciones son: confiscación (judicial), decomiso, multa o pena. Sacado del diccionario juridico de Guillermo Cabanellas de las Cuevas. Suerte! |

comiso (or) embargo judicial (or) intervención judicial Explanation: The concept of judicial forfeiture does indeed exist in Spain (in both the civil procedure act and in the criminal code), and I suspect that it likewise exists in other Spanish-speaking jurisdictions. But to better answer this question, more context would be helpful, since it is not clear whether the text refers to "civil judicial forfeiture" or "criminal judicial forfeiture" as defined herein: http://www.fbi.gov/hq/cid/asset/legal.htm Criminal judicial forfeiture is called "comiso" in the Spanish Criminal Code and can refer to either "comiso de los efectos e instrumentos del delito" (forfeiture of the effects and instrumentalities of crime) or "comiso de las ganancias del delito" (forfeiture of the proceeds of crime). Civil forfeiture can be called "embargo judicial" when it involves "bienes inmuebles" and "intervención judicial" when it involves "bienes productivos." If this refers to the judicial attachment of property to satisfy a civil judgment, then "embargo judicial" is used. I hope some of this fits your context! |
