The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Investigations) (Amendment) Order 2015

This Order amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Investigations) Order 2013 (S.I.2013/2605) (“the2013Order”) in relation to external investigations. The provisions of the2013Order broadly correspond with the civil recovery investigation provisions in Part 8 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29) (“the domestic provisions”). The amendments made by this Order reflect amendments made to the domestic provisions by section49(a) of, and Schedule19 to, the Crime and Courts Act2013 (c. 22). The amendments enable powers under the 2013 Order to be exercised in relation to property or a person who holds or has held that property if the external investigation relates to that property or person.
