Lithuania
, the prosecutor bears the burden of proof in the confiscation 
procedure. In February 2010, in its No. ABV-32-1 compilation of judicial practice on applying the 
confiscation under Article 72 of the Criminal Code of Lithuania, the Supreme Court of Lithuania noted that 
the courts shall motivate the source of origin of a property to be confiscated. The fact that an offender derived 
a benefit from committing a crime, as well as the amount such benefit, are circumstances to be prove. Since 
the Criminal Procedure Law of Lithuania does not contain the special standards of proving for the purposes 
of criminal confiscation, the circumstances thereof are to be established based on the common rules of 
proving (testimony of witnesses and accused, expert examination, and so on). The evidence to support the 
benefit of crime must be procured lawfully and considered in a court judgment (judgement of the Supreme 
Court on the case No. 2K-459/2004). In the process of special confiscation, the following is subject to prove: 
1) existence of the property that served as the instrumentality of a crime or the result therefrom; 2) relation 
between the property and the crime (if such property is the instrumentality of crime, it should be proven that 
the commission of crime would have been impossible or much harder without such instrumentality); 3) 
possibility of confiscation of the property when it is transferred to other persons. The burden of proof may 
be shifted in part in the process of extended criminal confiscation. Thus, as per Article 72-3 of the Criminal 
Code of Lithuania, one of the conditions for applying the extended confiscation is the failure of an offender, 
in the process of criminal procedure, to substantiate the legitimacy of acquired property. 
In 
Estonia
, the burden of proof in the process of special confiscation lies with the prosecution, with the 
criminal procedure standards of proving being applied. Thus, the prosecutor must provide evidence that a 
particular property has been used or intended to be used as an instrumentality of crime, or has been the object 
of encroachment, or has been acquired through a crime. No evidence has a predetermined force. In the cases 
on extended criminal confiscation, within Article 83-2 of the Criminal Code of Estonia, the burden of proof 
may be transferred. In accordance with this provision, upon conviction of a person for a crime, the court, to 
the extent set forth by this Code, is in the position to confiscate a part or all of the assets of convicted person, 
if such assets belonged to convicted person at the time of conviction and if the nature of crime, difference 
between legitimate incomes and financial situation, expenses and lifestyle of the person, or any other fact 
may suggest the person acquired such assets through committing a crime or on account of criminally obtained 
property. The confiscation is not applied to the assets, which the person proved not to have been derived 
criminally. Within the administrative confiscation, the burden of proof largely lies with the authorities in 
Estonia.
