Spanish term or phrase: secuestro de mi propiedad privada
En una declaración, una persona explica por qué le quitaron su finca:

"... el trabajar con la oposición venezolana específicamente con xxx en el pasado no se podía permitir bajo sus ideologías y control de territorio, y de esta manera procedieron al **secuestro de mi propiedad privada**."

Los que realizaron este secuestro son miembros de un grupo de guerrilla.

Encontré en el diccionario Collins que secuestro en el caso de propiedades se dice sequestration, pero no encuentro referencias a " sequestrate/sequester private property", aunque parece como una acción de un ente legal, no de delincuentes. He pensado en usar "proceeded to seize mi private property"

¿Me pueden echar una mano? Un millón de gracias
