confiscation
没収
A punishment that can only be added to a principal one (付加刑) (Penal Code, Article 9): a thing connected with the crime is confiscated. What may be confiscated is the thing that makes up the crime, a thing used or meant to be used for it, a thing it produced or gained or that was received as a reward for it, and what was received in exchange for such a thing (Article 19, paragraph (1)); only a thing belonging to no one but the offender, unless someone else acquired it after the crime knowing the facts (paragraph (2)). For a crime punishable only by penal detention (拘留) or a petty fine (科料), only the thing that makes up the crime may be confiscated, unless a special provision says otherwise (Article 20). Where a thing gained by the crime cannot be confiscated, its value may be collected instead (追徴) (Article 19-2).
