Step 1 :
Proceeds of Crime legislation, which includes the Proceeds of Crime Act 1987 and 2002, Criminal Assets Recovery Act 1990 and the Confiscation of Proceeds of Crime Act 1989, operates to restrain, seize and forfeit assets which have been acquired using money or funds derived from certain criminal activities. These laws further allow the Crime Commission, the police and the Director of Public Prosecutions to apply for orders that require you to pay an amount assessed by the Court as the value of the proceeds derived by that person from an illegal activity. The powers of the New South Wales Crime Commission are wide ranging and allow the Crime Commission to examine persons before the Court on all their financial affairs, seize and take control of property, restrain and forfeit all your property and the property of your family.
