This article analyzes the content of the concept of a bona fide third party as defined by the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia. It addresses the issues concerning the possibility of confiscating the property of a bona fide third party, as well as the application of property seizure as a procedural coercive measure in relation to such property. The study examines the precedent-based legal positions of the Cassation Court of the Republic of Armenia and the European Court of Human Rights regarding the lawfulness of seizure and confiscation of property belonging to a bona fide third party. Particular attention is paid to the presumption of good faith established by the Cassation Court as a criterion for applying seizure to property owned by a third party.
