The Crime of Fraudulent Asset Transfer

The crime of fraudulent asset transfer, also known as fictitious ownership, occurs when an individual falsely attributes ownership or availability of assets to others with the aim of evading legal regulations. This practice is often used to escape tax obligations, judicial actions, or to avoid asset confiscation.

  • Simulated sales contracts.
  • Ownership of assets in the name of a straw man.
  • Fictitious donations.
"The fictitious attribution must be conceived in order to evade legal norms or harm third parties."
