Apart from that, the Government of Montenegro, at the session held on 5 March 2009, adopted Proposal Criminal Procedure Code. In this Proposal, special attention was paid to seizure of the criminal proceedings. Proposal envisages procedures for temporary seizure of criminal proceeds, and financial investigation for wider seizure of criminal proceeds (Article 90). This Article, together with articles 486-489, makes provisions regulating sizure of criminal proceeds whose legal origin is not proved, which is known in the legal terminology as „widened seizure”. Proving burden is transferred from the court to the accused person (Article 93, paragraph 3), who is to prove the origin of his property by original and valid documents, i.e. in any other way in order to prove that objects, property and any proceeds are not gained through criminal acts, or through hiding of origin and gaining basis. So far, our criminal law regulated only the procedure of criminal proceeds seizure, i.e. only seizure of property gained through committing concrete criminal act. The new proposal CC is based on the possibility of widen seizure of criminal proceeds from the convicted person, his/her legal heir or a person to whom the convicted transferred property for which there is no proof of legal origin.
