10 | Satisfactory performance bonds shall not be required of the | ||||||
11 | United States, Another State, or the State of Illinois, or any | ||||||
12 | political subdivision, or any department, agency, or | ||||||
13 | instrumentality thereof. The existence of a criminal | ||||||
14 | conviction or corruption investigation for the alleged | ||||||
15 | violation of this Article is not a prerequisite to any | ||||||
16 | proceeding hereunder, but a final judgment entered in favor of | ||||||
17 | the People of the State of Illinois in any criminal proceeding | ||||||
18 | brought under this Article shall estop the defendant in the | ||||||
19 | criminal case from denying the material allegations of the | ||||||
20 | criminal violation in any subsequent civil or administrative | ||||||
21 | proceeding brought under this Article. | ||||||
22 | (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the court | ||||||
23 | shall, for any violation of this Article, order criminal or | ||||||
24 | civil forfeiture, in personam or in rem, jointly and severally, | ||||||
25 | of any interest or property the person has acquired or | ||||||
26 | maintained in violation of this Article, or any interest in, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | security of, or claim against, or property or contractual right | ||||||
2 | of any kind affording a source of influence of any degree over, | ||||||
3 | any enterprise that the person has established, operated, | ||||||
4 | controlled, conducted, or participated in, in violation of this | ||||||
5 | Article, as well as any property constituting, or derived from, | ||||||
6 | any proceeds, including money, that the person obtained, | ||||||
7 | directly or indirectly, from predicate activity or unlawful | ||||||
8 | debt collection in violation of this Article. Any court, in | ||||||
9 | imposing sentence on such person, shall order, in addition to | ||||||
10 | any other sentence imposed pursuant to this Article, that the | ||||||
11 | person forfeit to the State of Illinois all property described | ||||||
12 | herein. The property and interests subject to criminal or civil | ||||||
13 | forfeiture under this Article include any real property, | ||||||
14 | including things growing on, affixed to, and found in land, and | ||||||
15 | any tangible and intangible personal property, including | ||||||
16 | rights, privileges, interests, claims, and securities. All | ||||||
17 | right, title, and interest in property described in this | ||||||
18 | Article vests in the State of Illinois upon the inception of | ||||||
19 | the illicit agreement or commission of any act otherwise giving | ||||||
20 | rise to forfeiture under this Article. The court shall further | ||||||
21 | order the criminal or civil forfeiture of any other property of | ||||||
22 | the defendant up to the value of the property described herein | ||||||
23 | if, as a result of any act or omission of the defendant, such | ||||||
24 | property subject to forfeiture: (1) cannot be located upon the | ||||||
25 | exercise of due diligence; (2) has been transferred or sold to, | ||||||
26 | or deposited with, a third party; (3) has been placed beyond |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the jurisdiction of the court; (4) has been substantially | ||||||
2 | diminished in value; or (5) has been commingled with other | ||||||
3 | property that cannot be divided without difficulty. | ||||||
4 | (d) Any property subject to criminal or civil forfeiture | ||||||
5 | under this Article that is subsequently transferred to a person | ||||||
6 | other than a defendant may be the subject of a special verdict | ||||||
7 | of forfeiture and thereafter shall be ordered forfeited to the | ||||||
8 | State of Illinois, unless the transferee petitions the court | ||||||
9 | and establishes in a hearing before the court, without a jury, | ||||||
10 | that he or she is a bona fide purchaser for value of such | ||||||
11 | property who at the time of purchase was reasonably without | ||||||
12 | cause to believe that the property was subject to forfeiture | ||||||
13 | under this Article. The petition shall be signed by the | ||||||
14 | petitioner under penalty of perjury and shall set forth the | ||||||
15 | nature and extent of the petitioner's right, title, or interest | ||||||
16 | in the property, the time and circumstances of the petitioner's | ||||||
17 | acquisition of the right, title, or interest in the property, | ||||||
18 | any additional facts supporting the petitioner's claim, and the | ||||||
19 | relief sought. The hearing on the petition shall, to the extent | ||||||
20 | practicable and consistent with the interests of justice, be | ||||||
21 | held as soon as possible after completion of the criminal | ||||||
22 | proceedings, if any, pursuant to this Article. The court may | ||||||
23 | consolidate the hearing on the petition with a hearing on any | ||||||
24 | other petition filed by a person other than the defendant under | ||||||
25 | this Article. Following the court's disposition of all | ||||||
26 | petitions filed under this Article, or if no such petitions are |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | filed then within 90 days of the completion of criminal or | ||||||
2 | civil proceedings pursuant to this Article, the State of | ||||||
3 | Illinois shall have clear title to property that is the subject | ||||||
4 | of the order of forfeiture and may warrant good title to any | ||||||
5 | subsequent purchaser or transferee. In addition to testimony | ||||||
6 | and evidence presented at the hearing, the court shall consider | ||||||
7 | the relevant portions of the record of any criminal case that | ||||||
8 | resulted in, or relates to, the order of forfeiture. After the | ||||||
9 | hearing, the court shall amend the order of forfeiture if the | ||||||
10 | court determines that the petitioner has established by a | ||||||
11 | preponderance of the evidence that: | ||||||
12 | (1) the petitioner has a legal right, title, or | ||||||
13 | interest in the property, and such right, title, or | ||||||
14 | interest renders the order of forfeiture invalid in whole | ||||||
15 | or in part because the right, title, or interest was vested | ||||||
16 | in the petitioner rather than the defendant or was superior | ||||||
17 | to any right, title, or interest of the defendant at the | ||||||
18 | time of the commission of the acts that gave rise to the | ||||||
19 | forfeiture of the property under this Article; or | ||||||
20 | (2) the petitioner is a bona fide purchaser for value | ||||||
21 | of the right, title, or interest in the property and was at | ||||||
22 | the time of purchase reasonably without cause to believe | ||||||
23 | that the property was subject to forfeiture under this | ||||||
24 | Article. | ||||||
25 | (e) Upon application of a corruption prosecutor, the court | ||||||
26 | may enter a restraining order or injunction, require the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | execution of a satisfactory performance bond, or take any other | ||||||
2 | action to preserve the availability of property described | ||||||
3 | herein for forfeiture under this Article: | ||||||
4 | (1) upon the filing of an indictment or information | ||||||
5 | charging a violation of this Article and alleging that the | ||||||
6 | property with respect to which the order is sought would, | ||||||
7 | in the event of conviction, be subject to forfeiture under | ||||||
8 | this Article; or | ||||||
9 | (2) prior to the filing of such an indictment or | ||||||
10 | information, if, after notice to persons appearing to have | ||||||
11 | an interest in the property and opportunity for a hearing, | ||||||
12 | the court determines that: (A) there is a substantial | ||||||
13 | probability that the corruption prosecutor will prevail on | ||||||
14 | the issue of forfeiture and that failure to enter the order | ||||||
15 | will result in the property being destroyed, removed from | ||||||
16 | the jurisdiction of the court, or otherwise made | ||||||
17 | unavailable for forfeiture; and (B) the need to preserve | ||||||
18 | the availability of the property through the entry of the | ||||||
19 | requested order outweighs the hardship on any party against | ||||||
20 | whom the order is to be entered; Provided that any such | ||||||
21 | order entered be effective for not more than ninety days, | ||||||
22 | unless extended by the court for good cause shown or unless | ||||||
23 | an indictment or information described herein has been | ||||||
24 | filed. | ||||||
25 | A temporary restraining order under this Article may be | ||||||
26 | entered upon application of a corruption prosecutor without |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | notice or opportunity for a hearing when an information or | ||||||
2 | indictment has not yet been filed with respect to the property, | ||||||
3 | if the corruption prosecutor demonstrates that there is | ||||||
4 | probable cause to believe that the property with respect to | ||||||
5 | which the order is sought would, in the event of conviction, be | ||||||
6 | subject to forfeiture under this Article and that provision of | ||||||
7 | notice will jeopardize the integrity of a corruption | ||||||
8 | investigation, the safety of any persons, or the availability | ||||||
9 | of the property for forfeiture. Such a temporary order shall | ||||||
10 | expire not more than 10 days after the date on which it is | ||||||
11 | entered, unless extended for good cause shown or unless the | ||||||
12 | party against whom it is entered consents to an extension for a | ||||||
13 | longer period. A hearing requested concerning an order entered | ||||||
14 | herein under this Article shall be held at the earliest | ||||||
15 | possible time, and prior to the expiration of the temporary | ||||||
16 | order. The court may receive and consider, at a hearing held | ||||||
17 | pursuant to this Article, evidence and information that would | ||||||
18 | be otherwise inadmissible under the rules of evidence, and such | ||||||
19 | a hearing shall be heard by the court without a jury. | ||||||
20 | (f) Upon conviction of a person under this Article or upon | ||||||
21 | the completion of appropriate civil proceedings under this | ||||||
22 | Article, the court shall enter a judgment of forfeiture of the | ||||||
23 | property to the State of Illinois and shall authorize the | ||||||
24 | corruption prosecutor or his or her agent to seize all property | ||||||
25 | ordered forfeited upon such terms and conditions as the court | ||||||
26 | shall deem proper. Following the entry of an order declaring |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | the property forfeited, the court may, upon application of a | ||||||
2 | corruption prosecutor or corruption investigator, enter such | ||||||
3 | appropriate restraining orders or injunctions, require the | ||||||
4 | execution of satisfactory performance bonds, appoint | ||||||
5 | receivers, conservators, appraisers, accountants, or trustees, | ||||||
6 | or take any other action to protect the interest of the State | ||||||
7 | of Illinois in the property ordered forfeited. Any income | ||||||
8 | accruing to, or derived from, an enterprise or an interest in | ||||||
9 | an enterprise that has been ordered forfeited under this | ||||||
10 | Article may be used to offset ordinary and necessary expenses | ||||||
11 | to the enterprise which are required by law, or which are | ||||||
12 | necessary to protect the interests of the State of Illinois or | ||||||
13 | third parties. | ||||||
14 | (g) Following the seizure of property ordered forfeited | ||||||
15 | under this Article, the corruption prosecutor or his or her | ||||||
16 | agent shall direct the disposition of the property by sale or | ||||||
17 | any other commercially feasible means, making due provision for | ||||||
18 | the rights of any innocent persons. Any property right or | ||||||
19 | interest not exercisable by, or transferable for value to, the | ||||||
20 | State of Illinois shall expire and shall not revert to the | ||||||
21 | defendant, nor shall the defendant or any person acting in | ||||||
22 | concert with or on behalf of the defendant be eligible to | ||||||
23 | purchase forfeited property at any sale held by the corruption | ||||||
24 | prosecutor or his or her agent. Upon application of a person, | ||||||
25 | other than the defendant or a person acting in concert with or | ||||||
26 | on behalf of the defendant, the court may restrain or stay the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | sale or disposition of the property pending the conclusion of | ||||||
2 | any appeal of the criminal case giving rise to the forfeiture, | ||||||
3 | if the applicant demonstrates that proceeding with the sale or | ||||||
4 | disposition of the property will result in irreparable injury, | ||||||
5 | harm or loss to him or her. At the direction of the court, the | ||||||
6 | proceeds of any sale or other disposition of property forfeited | ||||||
7 | under this Article and any moneys forfeited shall be used to | ||||||
8 | pay all proper expenses consisting of the costs of the | ||||||
9 | corruption investigation, the prosecution thereof, and any | ||||||
10 | related remedial proceedings under this Article, as well as the | ||||||
11 | forfeiture and sale, including any expenses of seizure, | ||||||
12 | maintenance or custody of the property pending its disposition, | ||||||
13 | advertising and court costs. The corruption prosecutor shall | ||||||
14 | deposit in the treasury of the State of Illinois 75% of any | ||||||
15 | amounts of the proceeds or moneys remaining after the payment | ||||||
16 | of such proper expenses, which money or proceeds shall | ||||||
17 | thereafter be disposed of as prescribed by law, and the | ||||||
18 | corruption prosecutor shall retain directly the final 25% of | ||||||
19 | such proceeds or moneys for the general purposes of fulfilling | ||||||
20 | the duties of his or her office, or for equitable sharing, as | ||||||
21 | directed by the corruption prosecutor, among those corruption | ||||||
22 | investigators participating in the corruption investigation, | ||||||
23 | the prosecution thereof, and or any related remedial | ||||||
24 | proceedings under this Article. | ||||||
25 | (h) With respect to property ordered forfeited under this | ||||||
26 | Article, the court is authorized to: (1) grant petitions for |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | mitigation or remission of forfeiture, restore forfeited | ||||||
2 | property to victims of a violation of this Article, or take any | ||||||
3 | other action to protect the rights of innocent persons that is | ||||||
4 | in the interest of justice and that is not inconsistent with | ||||||
5 | the provisions of this Article; (2) compromise claims arising | ||||||
6 | under this Article; (3) award compensation to persons providing | ||||||
7 | information resulting in a forfeiture under this Article; (4) | ||||||
8 | direct the disposition by public sale by the corruption | ||||||
9 | prosecutor or his or her agent of all property ordered | ||||||
10 | forfeited under this Article or direct any other commercially | ||||||
11 | feasible means, making due provision for the rights of innocent | ||||||
12 | persons; and (5) take appropriate measures necessary to | ||||||
13 | safeguard and maintain property ordered forfeited under this | ||||||
14 | Article pending its disposition. | ||||||
15 | (i) Except as provided herein, no party claiming an | ||||||
16 | interest in property subject to forfeiture under this Article | ||||||
17 | may: (1) intervene in any trial or appeal of a criminal case | ||||||
18 | involving the forfeiture of such property under this Article; | ||||||
19 | or (2) commence an action at law or equity against the State of | ||||||
20 | Illinois, or against any corruption prosecutor or corruption | ||||||
21 | investigator, concerning the actions taken under this Article | ||||||
22 | or concerning the validity of an alleged interest in the | ||||||
23 | property subsequent to the filing of an indictment or | ||||||
24 | information alleging that the property is subject to forfeiture | ||||||
25 | under this Article. | ||||||
26 | (j) In order to facilitate the identification or location |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | of property declared forfeited and to facilitate the | ||||||
2 | disposition of petitions for remission or mitigation of | ||||||
3 | forfeiture, after the entry of an order declaring property | ||||||
4 | forfeited to the State of Illinois, the court may, upon | ||||||
5 | application of the corruption prosecutor, order that the | ||||||
6 | testimony of any witness relating to the property forfeited be | ||||||
7 | taken by deposition and that any designated book, paper, | ||||||
8 | document, record, recording, or other material not privileged | ||||||
9 | be produced at the same time and place, in the same manner as | ||||||
10 | provided for the taking of depositions in civil proceedings | ||||||
11 | under the laws of the State of Illinois. | ||||||
12 | (720 ILCS 5/33G-7 new) | ||||||
13 | Sec. 33G-7. Severability. If any clause, sentence, Section | ||||||
14 | or provision, or part of this Article or the application | ||||||
15 | thereof to any person or circumstance shall be adjudged to be | ||||||
16 | unconstitutional, the remainder of this Article or its | ||||||
17 | application to any person or circumstances other than those to | ||||||
18 | which it is held invalid shall not be affected thereby. | ||||||
19 | (720 ILCS 5/33G-8 new) | ||||||
20 | Sec. 33G-8. Construction. In interpreting the provisions | ||||||
21 | of this Article, the court, because of their remedial purposes, | ||||||
22 | shall construe them liberally. Nothing in this Article shall | ||||||
23 | preclude the imposition of additional criminal penalties under | ||||||
24 | any provision of Federal law, or the laws of the State of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | Illinois or Another State, or any other law, or the affording | ||||||
2 | of any civil or administrative remedies in addition to those | ||||||
3 | provided for in this Article. In addition, the court shall | ||||||
4 | construe this Article in light of the provisions contained in | ||||||
5 | Title IX of Public Law 91-452, 84 Stat. 922 (as amended in | ||||||
6 | Title 18, United States Code, Section 1961-1968), wherever | ||||||
7 | substantially similar language is used in such Title and this | ||||||
8 | Article, but where such language indicates an intent to depart | ||||||
9 | from such Title, the court shall interpret the language as | ||||||
10 | herein provided. | ||||||
11 | (720 ILCS 5/33G-9 new) | ||||||
12 | Sec. 33G-9. Limitations. Under this Article, | ||||||
13 | notwithstanding any other provision of law, but otherwise | ||||||
14 | subject to the periods of exclusion from limitation as provided | ||||||
15 | in Section 3-7 of this Code, the following limitations apply: | ||||||

1 | is later); or (3) the date any minor victim of the violation | ||||||
2 | attains the age of 18 years or the date any victim of the | ||||||

5 | Article, including injury, cause, pattern, or identity of the | ||||||
6 | violator or violators, was otherwise discovered in the exercise | ||||||

8 | (b) Any action, proceeding, or prosecution brought by a | ||||||
9 | corruption prosecutor under this Article may be commenced at | ||||||
10 | any time against all defendants if the conduct of any | ||||||
11 | defendant, or any part of the overall violation, resulted in | ||||||
12 | the unlawful death of any person or persons; | ||||||
13 | (c) Any action or proceeding brought by a private party | ||||||
14 | under subsection (b) of Section 33G-6 of this Article must | ||||||

Attorney or an Assistant State's Attorney | ||||||
10 | authorized by the State's
Attorney may authorize an
application | ||||||
11 | to a circuit judge or an associate
judge assigned by the Chief | ||||||

2 | authorization for each
specific application made to him by the | ||||||
