Suppose
I am a corrupt official. I accumulate a lot of wealth through wrongful means...under the table earnings. I push it on my wife, my kids, my parents, and even on my siblings names. Some of it is on my name too. I cannot risk my wife divorcing me, my siblings and kids running away with my monies. LOL
So now somebody catches me. All my ill deeds are out there in open.
Should my folks get clear title to what I have earned wrongfully?
Be the judge...
My thinking...NO. I would punish the family more because many a time they know the truth ... but try to push it under the carpet because of social and financial benefits. At least in India.

There is a saying in America which is "Being a corrupt politician is the best way to be rich."

I cannot judge him as such but at the same time if I had a chance to get the money that was owed to me by the Family I would not accept it as it is not good money it comes from a lot of jealousy and spite from their part.
Its not good money that he has made and they would not benefit from getting his money either.

Yes, that is right.
What was meted out to me as they left me out of the inheritance on purpose and a lot of nasty stuff went on there from their part you know being sly, spiteful as much as they could for me its what we call here "blood money".
It does not come from a good place it will hold bad energy and I was having none of that so I politely told them to keep or do whatever they wanted.
That kind of money will only bring problems of all kinds to whomsoever takes it on.

Interesting take. Somewhere spirituality has to takeover. Nevertheless, it will set a bad precedent and others who are not yet in this frame of mind, is likely to be agitated which will cause bad vibes and jealousy and anger ..whatever. Either way the result is gonna be the same, right?

Here, the accomplices would be prosecuted if the DA thought she could prove they knew about the crimes. That seems like a good system.

Whether they know or not it is still not what belongs to them, right? While there will be money that cannot be recovered like monies spent on parties, clothes, shoes, travel, monies that can be recovered from jewellery homes and cars should be recovered I feel.

@xander6464 That is where people in my country can be forced to be honest. Like Income tax returns they would need to file property holding returns. If the change in assets holding shows spike, following the parent's entry into picture, then the property bought with it, can definitely be confiscated.

@vandana7 Well, yeah, but when you assign culpability, you have to have some basis for it.

Accessories is somebody who would voluntarily join the act. There is no role per se of these people. They are family ..for all practical purposes, they are not aware of the crimes the head of the family is doing. How can law punish them then? Under which clause.

I think that person should be punished and the money repaid.
