Most notably the plan suggests that the Champion is seeking to introduce some new and important legislation, but on closer examination these again appear to have nothing to do specifically with corruption but have been tagged on to amend the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002. These include the power to “enable the use of investigative powers after a confiscation order has been made to facilitate the tracing and recovery of hidden assets” and to change the “legal test for a restraint order from one of ‘reasonable grounds’ to one of ‘suspicion’”. No further explanation is given regarding these proposals but lawyers will need to stay aware of the creep of such changes. It also seems that more may be in store as the Home Office is to consider “further strengthening the financial investigation powers available to law enforcement”. Bold words, but again no specific details are stated.
