code
TC-34
definition
Judicial or prosecutorial freezing of CSO bank accounts or assets without conviction, deployed as an operational restriction mechanism under criminal investigation or sabotage framing. Distinct from AML Law Weaponization (TC-19), which uses financial intelligence frameworks, in that TC-34 operates through criminal courts and prosecution offices and typically accompanies or follows a criminal investigation opening. Paralyzes organizational operations immediately regardless of eventual legal outcome — the freeze itself is the instrument, not the conviction.
