Code of Criminal Procedure Article 133

An item which can be used as evidence, or that is subject to confiscation, may be seized.To ensure a forced collection, a certain portion of the property of the suspect, accused, or a third party, may be seized with discretion as required.The owner, holder, or custodian of the items to be seized shall bring forward or deliver the items as ordered.The competent authority should be notified and a registration method should be used when seizing real estate, ships, or aircraft.To seize creditors' rights, a seizure order may be issued to prohibit a collection from debtors, or other sanctions, and to prohibit the action of paying off for the accused or a third party.The seizure, as implemented under this Code, has the effect of prohibiting a disposition. It does not impede the seal or seizure of provisional attachment, provisional injunction of civil proceedings, or the enforcement of a final judgment.
