LIMITS AND PROBLEMS OF APPLYING PRE-TRIAL CONFISCATION OF PROPERTY IN THE CRIMINAL PROCEDURE OF THE REPUBLIC OF KAZAKHSTAN

The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the institution of special confiscation of property in the Criminal law of the Republic of Kazakhstan, with an emphasis on the features and challenges of its application at the pre-trial stage. The author examines existing regulatory gaps and limitations that reduce the effectiveness of this legal mechanism. Special attention is given to a comparative legal analysis of the criminal and criminal procedure legislation of the Republic of Uzbekistan, the Kyrgyz Republic, the Russian Federation, and the Federal Republic of Germany, which allows identifying key trends and best international practices in the field of property confiscation. Based on the analysis, recommendations are formulated for improving Article 667 of the Criminal Procedure Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, aimed at expanding the legal possibilities for applying confiscation before sentencing, enhancing its preventive potential, and ensuring more effective use of this institution to achieve the objectives of criminal law.
