40It follows from the wording of that article that the material scope of that framework decision is, as is also apparent from the title and recital 1 of that framework decision, which refer respectively to ‘confiscation of crime-related proceeds, instrumentalities and property’ and ‘organised crime’, confined to criminal offences, with the result that that framework decision does not apply to a decision which does not come within the context of, or follow on from, proceedings relating to one or more criminal offences (see, to that effect, judgment of 19 March 2020, ‘Agro In 2001’, C‑234/18, EU:C:2020:221, paragraph 61).
