Details: The new law also includes the confiscation of property for individuals convicted under several other articles, such as those related to public calls for activities against state security, "public calls for extremist activities," "calls for the imposition of sanctions," aiding in their implementation, and "rehabilitation of Nazism." 

Property confiscation (based on a guilty verdict) will apply to those convicted of crimes "for mercenary motives or on hire."

Radio Liberty indicates that before the adoption of this current law, the Russian Criminal Code already allowed for the confiscation of property for individuals convicted under dozens of articles, primarily related to 'economic' or severe and especially severe crimes.
