Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
1. After an information or indictment
alleging a technological crime is filed in a criminal proceeding, the
prosecuting attorney may request the court to:
(a) Enter a restraining order or injunction;
(b) Require the execution of a satisfactory bond;
(c) Appoint a receiver; or
(d) Take any other necessary action,
to secure
property which is subject to criminal forfeiture.
2. The court shall, after a hearing for
which notice was given to any person whose rights in the property proposed for
forfeiture would be affected, order such an action if the prosecuting attorney
shows by a preponderance of the evidence that the action is necessary to
preserve the defendants property which is subject to criminal forfeiture.
3. If no indictment or information
alleging a technological crime has been filed, the court may, after such a
hearing and upon a showing of the prosecuting attorney that:
(a) There is probable cause to believe that the
property for which the order is sought would be subject to criminal forfeiture;
and
(b) The requested order would not result in
substantial and irreparable harm or injury to the party against whom the order
is to be entered that outweighs the need to secure the property for the
potential criminal forfeiture,
order an
action to secure the property. Such an order may not be effective for more than
90 days unless it is extended for good cause or an indictment or information
alleging a technological crime is filed and the extent of the criminally
forfeitable property is listed therein.
