Proceeds of Crime
The current financial climate throws up a plethora of challenges for those involved in confiscating and recovering the proceeds of crime. The resources available to tackle crime are stretched. The number of liquidations and insolvencies are rising, resulting in an increase in crime. Add to this the increasingly global nature of organised crime and you are faced with constantly evolving law and practice.
This conference will analyse criminal confiscation and civil recovery in the UK and globally and will address the following key areas:
- SOCA’s progress including an update on the ARA merger
- Issues emerging from the latest confiscation cases
- The benefits and burdens of Restraint Orders
- The prosecutors perspective on enforcement of confiscation orders
- Civil recovery, recovery orders and interim receivers
- Money laundering and the recent House of Lords Report
- The application of the Proceeds of Crime regime abroad
