About this statute

This is the preamble for Law 333 of 1996, which establishes rules on extinction of ownership over assets acquired illicitly. This provision defines “extinción del dominio” as the loss of that right in favor of the State, without any compensation to the holder. El artículo ordena que, por sentencia judicial, se declare la extinción del dominio sobre bienes vinculados a ciertas actividades ilícitas o usados como medios para realizarlas. This article defines which property and rights count as assets subject to extinction of domain, excluding personal rights. La extinción del dominio procede para bienes transferidos entre vivos cuando el tradente los obtuvo en los casos del artículo 2o y el adquirente actuó con dolo o culpa grave; en fiducia o encargo fiduciario, basta que la causal del artículo 2o sea atribuible al encargante o constituyente.
