You are pulling this out of thin air, it's a completely constructed example.

Virtually any wealth that was accumulated through illegal business is confiscated
by legal prosecutors and either kept by the government or - if the rightful
owners can be determined - returned to them.

There is no fallacy because the situations you are describing are based on

I don't have to because the German government is enforcing that on their own,
a lot of property that was stolen by the Nazis has already been returned to
their original owners or their relatives. This is an ongoing process.
Did you know that up until recently, Germany was still paying reparations
for even World War I?

It would have helped if you educated yourself first on the examples you provided
before trying to construct some sort of morality lesson out of them.
