Proposal for a directive
Article 15 – paragraph 4 – point f a (new)
Article 15 – paragraph 4 – point f a (new)
(fa) When a national official is convicted of a criminal offense under this Directive, the conviction by national judicial authorities shall trigger a comprehensive assessment of the entire wealth associated with that official, as well as their close relatives and partners. This assessment encompasses all financial assets, movable and immovable properties, with the purpose of determining whether the wealth held by the official, relatives, or partners corresponds to the income officially reported by these individuals. In cases where a significant disparity exists between the reported income and the actual assets possessed by the national official or their affiliated individuals, national competent authorities shall initiate a distinct investigation into the matter. If this separate investigation reveals that the assets in question are unexplained wealth or the proceeds of illicit activities, such assets should be subject to seizure and confiscation by national authorities.
