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.
