If it is necessary for investigating a criminal case, a Commission official may conduct an inspection; search the body of a suspect or witness in a criminal case, an object of a suspect or witness in a criminal case, or a residence or any other place associated with a suspect or witness in a criminal case; seize an article of evidence or a thing the official considers to be an object that should be confiscated; or conduct a seizure with an order to produce a copy of records (meaning ordering the keeper of an electronic or magnetic record or a person with the authority to access an electronic or magnetic record to copy the necessary electronic or magnetic record onto a recording medium, or print out that record, and seizing that recording medium; hereinafter the same applies in this Chapter) through a warrant issued in advance by the judge of the district court or summary court that has jurisdiction over the locality of the Commission; provided, however, that a Commission official may search the body of a witness, an object associated with a witness, or a residence or any other place associated with a witness only if there are sufficient circumstances for the official to discern the existence of an object to be seized.
委員会職員は、犯則事件を調査するため必要があるときは、委員会の所在地を管轄する地方裁判所又は簡易裁判所の裁判官があらかじめ発する許可状により、臨検、犯則嫌疑者等の身体、物件若しくは住居その他の場所の捜索、証拠物若しくは没収すべき物件と思料するものの差押え又は記録命令付差押え（電磁的記録を保管する者その他電磁的記録を利用する権限を有する者に命じて必要な電磁的記録を記録媒体に記録させ、又は印刷させた上、当該記録媒体を差し押さえることをいう。以下この章において同じ。）をすることができる。ただし、参考人の身体、物件又は住居その他の場所については、差し押さえるべき物件の存在を認めるに足りる状況のある場合に限り、捜索をすることができる。
If an object to be seized is a computer, starting from a recording medium connected via telecommunication lines to that computer which may be reasonably supposed that is used to store an electronic or magnetic record that has been made or altered using that computer or an electronic or magnetic record that may be altered or erased using that computer, the computer or the other recording medium may be seized after the electronic or magnetic record is copied onto that computer or that other recording medium.
差し押さえるべき物件が電子計算機であるときは、当該電子計算機に電気通信回線で接続している記録媒体であつて、当該電子計算機で作成若しくは変更をした電磁的記録又は当該電子計算機で変更若しくは消去をすることができることとされている電磁的記録を保管するために使用されていると認めるに足りる状況にあるものから、その電磁的記録を当該電子計算機又は他の記録媒体に複写した上、当該電子計算機又は当該他の記録媒体を差し押さえることができる。
In the cases referred to in the preceding two paragraphs, in cases of urgency, a Commission official may make a disposition referred to in the preceding two paragraphs with a warrant issued in advance by the judge of the district court or the summary court that has jurisdiction over the locality of the person who is to record or print out the object or place to be inspected, the body, object, or place to be searched, the object to be seized, or the electronic or magnetic record.
In requesting a warrant referred to in paragraph (1) or the preceding paragraph (hereinafter referred to as a "warrant" in this Chapter, excluding Article 222-3, paragraphs (4) and (5)), a Commission official must submit materials that confirm the existence of a criminal case.
If a request under the preceding paragraph is made, the judge of the district court or the summary court must deliver a warrant to a Commission official which states the name of the suspect in the criminal case (for a corporation, the name of the corporation), the charged offense, the object or place to be inspected, the person, object, or place to be searched, the object to be seized, or the electronic or magnetic record to be recorded or printed out and the person who is to record or print out the record, and the government position and name of the requester, the valid period, the fact that after the valid period ends, the warrant may not be executed and must be returned, the date of issuance and the name of the court, and bears their name and seal.
In the case referred to in paragraph (2), in addition to the particulars prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the warrant must state the scope of the recording medium that is connected via telecommunication lines to the computer to be seized, and whose electronic or magnetic records are to be copied.
A Commission official may deliver a warrant to another Commission official and have that official execute the inspection, search, seizure, or seizure with an order to produce a copy of records.

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).
