Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA)

Proceeds of Crime Act Solicitors in Manchester and London

The Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) 2002 criminalises the use of property, such as money, shares and goods, which has been obtained through criminal conduct. Our expert Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) solicitors can assist if you are being prosecuted under the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) 2002.

Examples of criminal conduct include tax evasion, bribery and any benefits received as a direct result of a business failing to comply with UK law.

If it is suspected that discovered cash may be used for unlawful conduct or is the proceeds from criminal activity, it can be seized. However, you can get it back if you can prove, on the balance of probabilities, that it will not be used for criminal activity or it was not the proceeds of crime. 

Usually, an application will be put forward during a prosecution for the confiscation of assets. However, even if authorities do not have enough evidence to prove criminal activity, but feel assets were acquired through criminal activity, then they can seek a Civil Recovery order.

If you have an order made against you, you will usually have six months in order to pay. However, you might be entitled to defend against it and our expert team can advise you of this.
