Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 is perhaps the most significant development in the criminal law since incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights in 1998 and has far reaching consequences in criminal procedure. It is designed to create a culture in which the confiscation ofcriminal assets is seen as an essential step in the investigation of crime, the processing of convicted defendants, and the removal of assets from others identified as having benefited from criminal conduct. The new legislation contains a number of radical changes:DT The Act establishes a powerful Assets Recovery Agency with extensive investigative powers. The Agency will be able to pursue criminal assets through confiscation of the assets of convicted criminals or recovery of assets representing the proceeds of crime through civil actions. Importantly, civilrecovery will permit the recovery of criminal assets where no conviction has been achieved. In addition, persons suspected of having benefited from crime will be liable to have their assets taxed by the Revenue Authorities.DT The Act amalgamates and strengthens existing powers available to restrain property whilst criminal proceedings are pending, and to seek an order for confiscation following conviction in both drugs cases and non-drugs offences. Existing restraint jurisdiction is transferred from the High Court tothe Crown Court to create a "one-stop shop" for confiscation of crime proceeds.DT The Act also reforms the definition of money-laundering and replaces the existing separate drug and non-drug offences with a single consolidated set of charges.DT Significantly, the Act anticipates the implementation of the Second European Community Directive on Money Laundering which will bring all lawyers within the regulated sector and impose stringent new duties upon them, with penal sanctions for breaching reporting regulations and "tipping off"clients. This book provides a detailed commentary on the Act, and is designed to be a readable and practical guide to its complex provisions. The impact of the Human Rights Act 1998 on the operation of the new provisions is considered at each stage in the text. It is an essential purchase for everypractising lawyer, both civil and criminal. About the Authors: Edward Rees QC and Andrew Hall QC are both specialist criminal practitioners with substantial experience in fraud and white collar crime. Both have lectured, broadcast and written extensively on criminal justice issues, and have recently undertaken extensive training of the Bar onthe new Act for the Criminal Bar Association.

Download or read book Civil Recovery of Criminal Property written by Colin King and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-08-17 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Follow-the-money' approaches are increasingly being adopted to tackle organised crime, corruption, and terrorist activities. The rationale behind such an approach is oft stated: to show that crime does not pay, to reinforce confidence in a fair and effective criminal justice system, and to deter criminal activity. Civil Recovery of Criminal Property is an in-depth analysis of the confiscation of the proceeds of crime in the absence of criminal conviction in Ireland and England & Wales, more than two decades since the introduction of this civil/criminal hybrid procedure. This book considers the development of civil recovery in both jurisdictions, providing a comprehensive comparative account and critical examination of its legislative context and framework, judicial reception, and case law development. It leads the argument that civil recovery -- like other civil/criminal hybrids -- straddles civil and criminal procedure in a manner that takes advantage of the resultant legal ambiguity, to the detriment of due process, civil liberties, and human rights. Through interviews with practitioners professionally engaged with civil recovery proceedings, both in defence and in enforcement, King and Hendry remedy what has until now been a lack of empirical engagement with the operation of civil recovery in practice. The authors provide a wide-ranging analysis of civil recovery in terms of its procedural hybridity, its 'follow-the-money' approach, its questionable compliance with the requirements of due process, its property-specific character, and its supposed pragmatism in tackling the problem of serious and organised crime. Blending doctrinal, socio-legal, and theoretical perspectives, Civil Recovery of Criminal Property will appeal both to academics and practitioners engaged with civil recovery.

Download or read book Money Laundering An Endless Cycle written by Nicholas Ryder and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-02-27 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed examination of anti-money laundering policies and legislative frameworks in a number of jurisdictions and considers how successful these jurisdictions have been in implementing international measures to combat money laundering. Looking at the instruments and proposals put in place by a number of institutions including the United Nations (UN), the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and the European Union, the book begins by reclassifying and expanding the traditional global anti-laundering policy to include aspects such as having a national money laundering strategy in place, the implementation of international instruments and the role of government and regulatory agencies. Ryder then offers a comparative analytical review of the anti-money laundering policies adopted in the United States of America, Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia and considers to what extent they have followed and implemented the identified global anti-money laundering policy. Money Laundering – An Endless Cycle? will be of particular interest to academics and students in the fields of Law, Finance, Banking and Criminology.
Download or read book Tough on Criminal Wealth written by Barbara Vettori and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-09-21 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the expertise of thirty leading experts on confiscation in the EU, this is the first book to analyse the practice of proceeds from crime confiscation in the original fifteen EU Member States. It examines the implementation of confiscation provisions in all three (investigative, judicial and disposal) phases of confiscation proceedings. It quantifies the enforcement of confiscation provisions in the EU, using an innovative and unique methodology and thereby furnishes understanding of obstacles and best practices. The conclusion of the book is that the ‘tough on criminal wealth’ philosophy is largely alien to the everyday practice of law enforcement agencies. Putting criminals behind bars is still the main aim of the system, and most of the scarce resources available are devoted to achieving this. This title is of interest to academics and students in the fields of criminology, sociology, and law, as well as to law enforcement officers, public prosecutors, and policymakers.
Download or read book A Practical Guide to Confiscation and Restraint written by Narita Bahra and published by . This book was released on 2022-02-21 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a practical and quick-reference guide to the highly topical and complex issues of Confiscation and Restraint under the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) in criminal proceedings. It is aimed at both prosecution and defence practitioners giving advice, preparing statements, and on their feet in the Crown Court or before Magistrates. Confiscation and Restraint issues arise in many criminal cases, where the prosecution seek to recover benefit from the assets of those convicted. The book explains the underlying logic behind the various provisions and their operation in everyday practice. It is packed with useful insights and practical points to assist practitioners to swiftly identify and competently address the relevant issues, supported by references to authority in statute, case law and the Criminal Procedure Rules. The appendices provide examples of key documents which the practitioner can adapt to meet the defendant's situation. A final chapter outlines issues in relation to civil account freezing and forfeiture applications in the Magistrates' Court. "It is a great achievement to create a short guide to this area ... clear and accessible ... Practitioners will do well to carry it with them and use it as their first port of call to guide them in the right direction. It will save them from error and give them confidence to tackle cases which may at first seem intractable." - From the Foreword by Lord Justice Edis
