This research paper explores the confiscation under the Somali Penal Code, its compatibility with confiscations in foreign countries as well as the possibilities of cooperation between Somalia and other countries with different confiscation systems for the purposes of depriving serious criminal offenders of their financial powers. The problem of such mutual legal assistance occurs when the confiscation has been ordered in one country while the target property is located, in whole or in part, in the territory of another country. Even in such cases, the confiscation should be achieved so that ―crime does not pay‖. The successful solution to this complex problem requires serious legislative work and operational efforts by competent authorities. The aim of this paper is to prompt some ideas to Somalia as to how progress in this area might be made.
