Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) confiscating proceedings are now a matter of routine upon conviction
This is true for variety of offences including drug importation, supply (dealing) or production, money laundering, un/under declared earnings to HMRC, or earnings from serious crime like burglaries / robberies. It is used to further punish those convicted by confiscating the defendants monetary benefit from the criminal activity.
The defendant will be required to account for all assets and income for the last six years as the prosecution will suggest the defendant has enjoyed a criminal lifestyle. The prosecution will want to confiscate not just the money they say you made as a result of the crime but want to investigate all the money and assets you have.
In certain offences the prosecution can say that your wealth has come from a criminal lifestyle and apply to the court to confiscate assets you own. This can include your home, cars, and bank accounts. If you do not have the funds to pay it then you can be sent to prison in default of payment and still owe the money. In confiscation proceedings it is your duty to prove that the assets and money you own did not come from criminal activity. The prosecution will go through your assets in great detail and will look to confiscate any unexplained income or assets.
