Confiscation Proceedings
Once someone is convicted of a criminal offence from which they can be shown to have benefitted financially, the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) allows the prosecution to seek a confiscation order.
The Prosecution calculate how much the individual has benefitted from his or her conduct and what assets he or she has available in order to repay that benefit. Non-compliance with a confiscation order can result in the Court imposing a period of imprisonment in default of payment or an attack on assets (including those in the name of a third party).
Confiscation Proceedings can be lengthy, complicated and damaging on the individual's business or family members who are affected by them.
