A Comparative Study of Extended Civil Sources in the Legal System of England, Ireland and Iran

Globalization led to the removal of borders, and as a result, new forms of crime came to the fore; furthermore, new tools to deal with it were also established in legal systems. Among these institutions, which are often used to deal with transnational organized crimes, is extended civil confiscation. The extended civil confiscation system of England and Ireland are among the leading legal systems in this field. In Iran's legal system, the "law on dealing with the property of ministers and employees approved in 1337", the "law on amending the anti-money laundering law approved in 1397" and the "law on adding articles to the law on the implementation of the forty-ninth principle (49) approved in 1399" are the closest system in Iran's legal system. Confiscation by the extended civil confiscation system is considerable. In this study, for the purpose of optimization of the legal system governing the confiscation of property related to crime in the Republic of Iran, with a comparative view, the components of the extended civil confiscation system in the legal systems of England and Ireland are described, and based on the resulting approach, effective suggestions for the purpose of reforming the laws governing the property related to crime are offered.  In the comparative approach, "criminal behavior", "reduction of the value of evidence" and "revolutionary revolution" are considered three components of extended civil confiscation. Ambiguity in the "Equality of Arms Standard" in the issue of the method of proof, ambiguity in "Reduction of Probative Evidence" and lack of "Necessary Provisional Agreements" to optimize the implementation of extended civil confiscation can be counted among the damages of the legal system governing extended civil confiscation in Iran's legal system. It should be noted that this research was conducted with a descriptive-analytical method and uses the library method in collecting sources.
