NATIONAL CRIME AGENCY, NORTHERN IRELAND

This Order allows the National Crime Agency to carry out civil recovery functions under Part 8 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 in Northern Ireland but only in relation to excepted and reserved offences. This means that the National Crime Agency may exercise civil recovery powers in relation to immigration and customs offences in Northern Ireland from 7th October 2013. Under Schedule 24 to the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (“CCA 2013”) these provisions were limited in their extent to Northern Ireland but that position is reversed by this Order. Article 3 of the Order extends provisions in Schedule 8 (Abolition of SOCA and NPIA) of CCA 2013 to Northern Ireland but Article 4 limits the exercise of the relevant functions to non-transferred offences. Article 5 provides certain exceptions, including where there is a transferred offence that is closely connected to a non-transferred offence.
