Proceeds of Crime Act 2002: codes of practice consultation
Consultation description
The Attorney General’s Office is consulting on a revised code of practice that governs the use by prosecutors of some of the investigatory powers in the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (the Act) has been amended by the Policing and Crime Act 2009 and the Crime and Courts Act 2013. The Act provides for this consultation on amendments to existing codes. The codes will then be subject to parliamentary approval before coming into force.
The code of practice on which we seek views provides guidance on the operation by prosecutors of the investigation powers under the Act.
