Abstract

Asset forfeiture is a relatively new and innovative way of fighting crime through civil litigation. In this article the author deals with the South African experience of best practice in the use of asset forfeiture to fight crime and corruption. He advocates the use of a combination of conviction-based and non-conviction-based forfeiture to make maximum impact. In particular, the paper deals with the many advantages of the UK conviction-based model, which is value-based rather than focused on the proceeds of crime. It also deals with the advantages of non-conviction forfeiture as an important tool.
