Those who navigate the regime likely share this view.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>the current regime is \u201c<i>inefficient, complex and ineffective- with weak enforcement&#8230;.<\/i>\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>One suggestion is that of \u201c<i>limiting unrealistic orders that are unlikely to be paid<\/i>.\u201d To my mind, this was at the forefront of the provisions when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legislation.gov.uk\/ukpga\/2002\/29\/contents\">Proceeds of Crime Act 2002<\/a> (POCA) was enacted. It\u2019s also a suggestion that is unlikely to curry favour with my former law enforcement colleagues.<\/p>\n<p>The ethos of ensuring that crime does not pay is at the core of POCA. For example, if a criminal can be shown to have benefited to a sum of \u00a31 million, and their realisable assets are only \u00a3100,000, then they owe the state \u00a3900,000. Assuming no \u201chidden assets\u201d, then, to my mind, the confiscation order should be in the amount of \u00a3900,000. Consider, for instance, if the same criminal were to later win \u00a31 million on the lottery, or if they were to inherit \u00a31 million from a distant aunt. Should that criminal be entitled to keep their new windfall payment?<\/p>\n<p>As a practitioner I interpreted POCA to have been intended to be a \u201ccradle-to-grave\u201d means of ensuring that crooks did not benefit from their criminality. It covered the possibility of them coming into money after their confiscation order was imposed. I appreciate that a scenario in which a criminal with limited realisable assets later receives substantial sums is unlikely, but confiscation orders cost nearly nothing to administer in such cases, so they should be issued in such cases in anticipation of the slight chance that the criminals financial position changes.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong> this &#8220;overhaul&#8221; will result in such a marginal gain<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Law Commission\u2019s remaining suggestions appear to make sense, but the fact that this &#8220;overhaul&#8221; will result in such a marginal gain (of \u00a38 million additional confiscated value) renders the advantages of the amendments debatable, especially when the outstanding confiscation order debt is in the region of \u00a32 billion.<\/p>\n<p>As a former law enforcement officer, I accept that my perspective on the confiscation regime is skewed, but I question the frequent allegations that POCA is too draconian. POCA is a necessary tool in the law enforcement toolbox given the ever-increasing rate of criminal activity, particularly that of the serious and organised variety.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>POCA is a necessary tool in the law enforcement toolbox<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All those reading this who have a role to play in confiscation hearings will be familiar with the \u201chorse trading\u201d that takes place ahead of the hearing. I question whether this is in the spirit of POCA, especially given that it tends to favour defendants, and afford them more concessions than they are due.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Personally, where appropriate, I would like to see more defendants incarcerated when their realisable assets are insufficient to satisfy confiscation orders. Increasing the risk of incarceration would deter criminals by increasing their risk\/reward calculus. It might also reduce the incentive for criminals to underrepresent their realisable assets for the purposes of a confiscation order assessment.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not suggesting that I have the answers, but I do question whether the projected \u00a38 million in additional confiscation order revenue justifies the costs of implementing this overhaul of the confiscation regime.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/2022\/12\/01\/opinion-the-future-of-the-sfo\/tony-mcclements-mks-logo\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4994\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4994 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo-150x150.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/Tony-McClements-MKS-logo.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>Tony McClements is Managing Director of Investigations at <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/diskdrive33.com\/mks\"><b>Martin Kenney &amp; Co<\/b><\/a><b> (MKS), and a guest lecturer in Fraud and Financial Investigation at the University of Central Lancashire.\u00a0He is a 33-year veteran police detective investigating serious &amp; organised crime, specialising in the investigation of fraud since 1998.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tony McClements, managing director of investigations at MKS, welcomes the review of the confiscation regime announced by the Law Commission in the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":5024,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[111],"tags":[335,317,30,334,210],"class_list":["post-5014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog","tag-confiscation","tag-crime","tag-law","tag-law-commission","tag-poca"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.8 -
