Asset Confiscation
If you have been charged with an offence, a freeze or restraining order may be placed on your assets by the director of Public Prosecutions. If you are charged with a serious offence, you may be required to forfeit your assets.
Property and assets can be confiscated if they are:
- linked to an offender
- used to commit a crime (instrument of an offence)
- purchased using profits from crime (proceeds of an offence)
If your assets have been confiscated under the Criminal Assets Confiscation Act 2005, you need to submit an application of exclusion within six months to avoid the assets being forfeited. Contact Nicholas Vadasz for professional advice and representation in applying for an exclusion.
