14 (720 ILCS 5/16D-6) (from Ch. 38, par. 16D-6)
15 Sec. 16D-6. Forfeiture. 1. Any person who commits the
16 offense of transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail
17 as set forth in Section 16D-4.1 or computer fraud as set
18 forth in Section 16D-5 shall forfeit, according to the
19 provisions of this Section, any monies, profits or proceeds,
20 and any interest or property which the sentencing court
21 determines he has acquired or maintained, directly or
22 indirectly, in whole or in part, as a result of such offense.
23 Such person shall also forfeit any interest in, security,
24 claim against, or contractual right of any kind which affords
25 him a source of influence over any enterprise which he has
26 established, operated, controlled, conducted or participated
27 in conducting, where his relationship to or connection with
28 any such thing or activity directly or indirectly, in whole
29 or in part, is traceable to any item or benefit which he has
30 obtained or acquired through computer fraud or transmission
31 of unsolicited bulk electronic mail.
32 Proceedings instituted pursuant to this Section shall be
33 subject to and conducted in accordance with the following
-10- LRB093 05563 WGH 16062 a
1 procedures:
2 (a) The sentencing court shall, upon petition by the
3 prosecuting agency, whether it is the Attorney General or a
4 State's Attorney, at any time following sentencing, conduct a
5 hearing to determine whether any property or property
6 interest is subject to forfeiture under this Section. At the
7 forfeiture hearing the People of the State of Illinois shall
8 have the burden of establishing, by a preponderance of the
9 evidence, that the property or property interests are subject
10 to such forfeiture.
11 (b) In any action brought by the People of the State of
12 Illinois under this Section, the circuit courts of Illinois
13 shall have jurisdiction to enter such restraining orders,
14 injunctions or prohibitions, or to take such other action in
15 connection with any real, personal, or mixed property or
16 other interest subject to forfeiture, as they shall consider
17 proper.
18 (c) In any action brought by the People of the State of
19 Illinois under this Section, wherein any restraining order,
20 injunction or prohibition or any other action in connection
21 with any property or interest subject to forfeiture under
22 this Section is sought, the circuit court presiding over the
23 trial of the person or persons charged with computer fraud or
24 transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail shall first
25 determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the
26 person or persons so charged have committed the offense of
27 computer fraud or the offense of transmission of unsolicited
28 bulk electronic mail and whether the property or interest is
29 subject to forfeiture pursuant to this Section. In order to
30 make this determination, prior to entering any such order,
31 the court shall conduct a hearing without a jury, where the
32 People shall establish: (1) probable cause that the person or
33 persons so charged have committed the offense of computer
34 fraud or the offense of transmission of unsolicited bulk
-11- LRB093 05563 WGH 16062 a
1 electronic mail, and (2) probable cause that any property or
2 interest may be subject to forfeiture pursuant to this
3 Section. Such hearing may be conducted simultaneously with a
4 preliminary hearing if the prosecution is commenced by
5 information or complaint, or by motion of the People at any
6 stage in the proceedings. The court may enter a finding of
7 probable cause at a preliminary hearing following the filing
8 of an information charging the offense of computer fraud or
9 the offense of transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic
10 mail or the return of an indictment by a grand jury charging
11 the offense of computer fraud or the offense of transmission
12 of unsolicited bulk electronic mail as sufficient evidence of
13 probable cause for purposes of this Section. Upon such a
14 finding, the circuit court shall enter such restraining
15 order, injunction or prohibition, or shall take such other
16 action in connection with any such property or other interest
17 subject to forfeiture under this Section as is necessary to
18 insure that such property is not removed from the
19 jurisdiction of the court, concealed, destroyed or otherwise
20 disposed of by the owner or holder of that property or
21 interest prior to a forfeiture hearing under this Section.
22 The Attorney General or State's Attorney shall file a
23 certified copy of such restraining order, injunction or other
24 prohibition with the recorder of deeds or registrar of titles
25 of each county where any such property of the defendant may
26 be located. No such injunction, restraining order or other
27 prohibition shall affect the rights of any bona fide
28 purchaser, mortgagee, judgment creditor or other lienholder
29 arising prior to the date of such filing. The court may, at
30 any time, upon verified petition by the defendant, conduct a
31 hearing to release all or portions of any such property or
32 interest which the court previously determined to be subject
33 to forfeiture or subject to any restraining order,
34 injunction, prohibition or other action. The court may
-12- LRB093 05563 WGH 16062 a
1 release such property to the defendant for good cause shown
2 and within the sound discretion of the court.
3 (d) Upon conviction of a person under Section 16D-4.1 or
4 Section 16D-5, the court shall authorize the Attorney General
5 to seize and sell all property or other interest declared
6 forfeited under this Act, unless such property is required by
7 law to be destroyed or is harmful to the public. The court
8 may order the Attorney General to segregate funds from the
9 proceeds of such sale sufficient: (1) to satisfy any order
10 of restitution, as the court may deem appropriate; (2) to
11 satisfy any legal right, title, or interest which the court
12 deems superior to any right, title, or interest of the
13 defendant at the time of the commission of the acts which
14 gave rise to forfeiture under this Section; or (3) to satisfy
15 any bona-fide purchaser for value of the right, title, or
16 interest in the property who was without reasonable notice
17 that the property was subject to forfeiture. Following the
18 entry of an order of forfeiture, the Attorney General shall
19 publish notice of the order and his intent to dispose of the
20 property. Within the 30 days following such publication, any
21 person may petition the court to adjudicate the validity of
22 his alleged interest in the property.
23 After the deduction of all requisite expenses of
24 administration and sale, the Attorney General shall
25 distribute the proceeds of such sale, along with any moneys
26 forfeited or seized as follows:
27 (1) 50% shall be distributed to the unit of local
28 government whose officers or employees conducted the
29 investigation into computer fraud or transmission of
30 unsolicited bulk electronic mail and caused the arrest or
31 arrests and prosecution leading to the forfeiture. Amounts
32 distributed to units of local government shall be used for
33 training or enforcement purposes relating to detection,
34 investigation or prosecution of financial crimes, including
-13- LRB093 05563 WGH 16062 a
1 computer fraud and transmission of unsolicited bulk
2 electronic mail. In the event, however, that the
3 investigation, arrest or arrests and prosecution leading to
4 the forfeiture were undertaken solely by a State agency, the
5 portion provided hereunder shall be paid into the State
6 Police Services Fund of the Illinois Department of State
7 Police to be used for training or enforcement purposes
8 relating to detection, investigation or prosecution of
9 financial crimes, including computer fraud and transmission
10 of unsolicited bulk electronic mail.
11 (2) 50% shall be distributed to the county in which the
12 prosecution and petition for forfeiture resulting in the
13 forfeiture was instituted by the State's Attorney, and
14 deposited in a special fund in the county treasury and
15 appropriated to the State's Attorney for use in training or
16 enforcement purposes relating to detection, investigation or
17 prosecution of financial crimes, including computer fraud and
18 transmission of unsolicited bulk electronic mail. Where a
19 prosecution and petition for forfeiture resulting in the
20 forfeiture has been maintained by the Attorney General, 50%
21 of the proceeds shall be paid into the Attorney General's
22 Financial Crime Prevention Fund. Where the Attorney General
23 and the State's Attorney have participated jointly in any
24 part of the proceedings, 25% of the proceeds forfeited shall
25 be paid to the county in which the prosecution and petition
26 for forfeiture resulting in the forfeiture occurred, and 25%
27 shall be paid to the Attorney General's Financial Crime
28 Prevention Fund to be used for the purposes as stated in this
29 subsection.
30 2. Where any person commits a felony under any provision
31 of this Code or another statute and the instrumentality used
32 in the commission of the offense, or in connection with or in
33 furtherance of a scheme or design to commit the offense, is a
34 computer owned by the defendant or if the defendant is a
-14- LRB093 05563 WGH 16062 a
1 minor, owned by his or her parents or legal guardian, the
2 computer shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.
3 However, in no case shall a computer, or any part thereof, be
4 subject to the provisions of the Section if the computer
5 accessed in the commission of the offense is owned or leased
6 by the victim or an innocent third party at the time of the
7 commission of the offense or if the rights of creditors,
8 lienholders, or any person having a security interest in the
9 computer at the time of the commission of the offense shall
10 be adversely affected.
