You're essentially shutting down someone's right to run for office. It's done only if there are strong indications that, in fact, the campaign funds are being used for something blatantly illegal.
That is very unusual because, in effect, if you freeze or seize the account, you're stopping the campaign and most prosecutors won't do that without very good cause.
