Spanish term or phrase: aseguramiento, confiscación, decomiso de bienes
Leyes Mexicanas. Es un documento sobre el delito de lavado de dinero. Se utlizan los 3 términos diferenciados. Yo entiendo:

Seizure-cuando se aseguran o se confiscan los bienes involucrados en el delito para que no sean ocultados, desaparezcan, etc.

Confiscation- cuando dichos bienes se retiran por completo del infractor.

Las leyes mexicanas, sin embargo, hablan de confiscar en términos de los bienes involucrados en el delito y decomisar cuando van trás los bienes del infractor, aunque no estén involucrados en el delito. ¿alguna idea de cómo diferenciarlos en inglés? Gracias!!

AVH - Dicionario de términos jurídicos

"aseguramiento de bienes litigiosos: embargo on property in litigation"

"confiscación: expropriation, seizure; confiscation"

"decomiso: (decomissioning, attachment, forfeit, seizure, capture"

Based on our definitions, 'aseguamiento" would be used to make sure that nothing is hidden, 'confiscación" for "seizure" and "decomiso", that is "attachment" even though the assets may be clean to attempt to make ties to dirty or laundered money.
