There is a dispute regarding Bill 76 aimed at restricting freezing orders to assets genuinely linked to criminal activities, with some viewing it as a reasonable approach. On the other hand, critics have characterized these proposed amendments as “perverse“. 

I prefer to refrain from participating in political discussions and, instead, focus on academic arguments rooted in legal principles, concepts, and case law.

Hence, I engage with the contents of my book, ‘Decoding Administrative Law,’ along with ECHR case law, such as  that involving the Bulgarian couple Apostolov, where the husband operated an unlicensed bank and the ground-breaking 2021 decree of Maltese Judge Edwina Grima in the case of Progress Company Limited.

All these elements are explored in detail within this contribution titled Freezing and Confiscation Orders.
