прихватизирована


Explanation:
Это стилистическая игра, слово unlawfully намеренно комично поставлено в пару к разговорному "слямзить". У нас есть чудесное словечко "прихватизировать", совмещающее в себе и нужное значение, и стилистическое противопоставление ("прихватить" и "приватизировать").

I see an intentional stylistic device of pairing a legal term with a slang phrase. Luckily, we have an exact one-word equivalent in Russian, complete with the awkward stylistical clash.

neutral  Turdimurod Rakhmanov: Прихватизировать -имеет слишком прямое значение, вы использовали синонимы отсюда https://ru.wiktionary.org/wiki/спионерить лучше чем это- стырить как Елена предложил.

  -> There is nothing indirect about "стырить". Or 'to five finger', come to think of it. Challenge dismissed. And, just so you know, I do not need to use Wikipedia to pick a slang term. The perks of being a native Russian speaker, you know.

Самый нейтральный вариантом здесь можно считать, The best possible variant here might be :
- "позаимствовал"
Because it is a slang (slang, euphemistic)
