Article 23 — Obligation to inform affected persons

Member States shall ensure that freezing orders referred to in Article 11, confiscation orders referred to in Articles 12 to 16 and sales orders referred to in Article 21 are communicated to the affected person without undue delay. Such orders shall set out the reasons for the measure as well as the rights and legal remedies available to that affected person pursuant to Article 24. Member States may provide for a right for competent authorities to postpone communication of the freezing orders to the affected person for as long as is necessary to avoid jeopardising a criminal investigation.
