Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the legal possibilities of the deprivation of property gained from criminal activity in the Slovak Republic. It shows the legal possibilities from two aspects – as the temporary deprivation of property gained from criminal activity-seizure of property, and as the absolute deprivation of property – forfeiture or confiscation of the property gained from criminal activity. It analyses concrete legal rules and law institutes, which are enabled by the Slovak legal order to be used in a legal proceeding as well as exclusive of legal proceeding. It judges critically the police and judicial practice of the Slovak Republic, which uses the institutes of temporary and absolute deprivation of property only minimally.
