⚠️ The trap

'Confisca' is a noun (the confiscation); 'confiscare' is the verb. In Italian constitutional law, 'confisca' can be applied preventively even without a conviction in organised crime cases — a feature that differs from many common-law systems.

To say "to officially take someone's possessions (verb)" in Italian:
