Proceeds of Crime

A person's acts may contribute significantly to property being obtained without his obtaining it.

Orders for the confiscation criminal assets, or orders restraining the disposal  of property pending the hearing of a confiscation order, may be made in respect of property which the person has actually obtained, not property he has merely  helped others obtain.
