In cases under public prosecution concerning the offences prescribed in Article 21, paragraphs (1), (2), (4) (excluding item (iv)), (5) and (6), if a court finds probable cause to believe that equivalent value should be collected pursuant to paragraph (15) of the same Article, and that enforcing a judicial decision on the collection of equivalent value will be impossible or extremely difficult, the court may prohibit the accused from disposing of the assets. This may be done by issuing an order to collect the equivalent value, either at the request of a public prosecutor or by the court's own authority.
If a judge finds that there are the grounds and necessity prescribed in the preceding paragraph, even before the institution of prosecution, the judge may conduct the disposition prescribed in the same paragraph, at the request of a public prosecutor.
Beyond the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the disposition under these provisions is governed by the provisions regarding the prohibition of disposition under the order for the collection of equivalent value, as prescribed in Chapter IV, Sections 2 and 3 of the Organized Crime Punishment Act.
