Asset forfeiture, restraint and cash seizures under the Proceeds of Crime
Act 2002
Brian Rose-Smith (Solicitor)
Either as an individual or
a corporation, your affairs will be drastically affected if you become
subject to any of these proceedings .
Not only will you be affected, but family members, partners and
joint owners are at risk of their assets being forfeited or restrained.
We have considerable
exepreince in advising individuals, corporations and third parties caught
up in these processes on how best to challenge the authorities or mitigate
the effects.
Recent Cases
-We persuaded the Crown Prosecution
Service to release from the restraint order the bank accounts
of two third parties by demonstrating that the funds deposited in these
accounts by the restrained Defendant had a legitimate origin.
-£20,000 cash seized from
a Kuwaiti watch dealer was returned by Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs
after we were able to show that the money was the proceeds of lawful
trading.
-In confiscation
proceedings we were able to secure for the Defendant’s wife one half of the
family’s assets after a long, complex and bitterly contested case.
