8SAfter section 6 (implicative gifts) there shall be inserted the following sections—
(1)This section applies where the court which made a confiscation order is satisfied, on an application made by the prosecutor, that at the time the application is made the value of the proceeds of the person’s drug trafficking, or the amount that might be realised, is greater than—
(a)the value of the proceeds of the person’s drug trafficking; or, as the case may be,
(b)the amount that might be realised,
which was taken into account when the order was made.
(2)The considerations by reference to which to court may be satisfied as mentioned in subsection (1) above shall include—
(a)the value of the proceeds of the person’s drug trafficking was greater than was taken into account when the confiscation order was made or has increased since the order was made; or
(b)further proceeds of drug trafficking have been obtained since the confiscation order was made; or
(c)the value of realisable property was greater than was taken into account when the confiscation order was made; or
(d)any realisable property taken into account at the time when the confiscation order was made has subsequently increased in value; or
(e)the amount, or part of the amount, of a gift which was disregarded under section 5(7) of this Act could now be realised.
(3)An application under subsection (1) above shall be made as soon as is reasonably practicable after the relevant information becomes available to the prosecutor but in any event within 6 years commencing with the date when the person was convicted of the offence.
(4)Where this section applies—
(a)the court may make a new confiscation order for the payment of such sum as appears to the court to be appropriate having regard to what is now shown to be the value of the proceeds of drug trafficking or the amount that might be realised; and
(b)if the earlier confiscation order has not been satisfied, then the court, in making the new confiscation order, shall recall the earlier order and may take into account the amount unpaid (including any interest payable by virtue of section 15(1) of the Criminal Justice (International Co-operation) Act 1990) under the earlier order.
(5)Section 4 of this Act shall, subject to any necessary modifications, apply in relation to the making of a new confiscation order in pursuance of this section as it applies where the prosecutor has moved for a confiscation order under section 1 of this Act.
(6)The assumptions mentioned in section 3(2) of this Act shall not apply for the purposes of this section.
(1)This section applies where no confiscation order has been made in relation to an offence under section 1 or 2 of this Act.
(2)Where the court, on an application made to it by the prosecutor under this section, is satisfied—
(a)that a person convicted of an offence to which this Part of this Act relates was in receipt of the proceeds of drug trafficking in respect of that offence;
(b)that the information necessary to enable a confiscation order to be made on the date on which an application under section 1 of this Act was or could have been made was not available to the prosecutor,
it may make a confiscation order in relation to that person.
(3)An application under this section shall be made as soon as is reasonably practicable after the relevant information becomes available to the prosecutor but in any event within 6 years commencing with the date when the person was convicted of the offence.
(4)In determining the sum to be payable under a confiscation order made in pursuance of this section, the court shall take into account—
(a)any order involving any payment by the offender;
(b)any order under section 87 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1995 or an order for forfeiture under any other enactment made in respect of the offender,
which forms part of the sentence already imposed for the offence concerned.
(5)In determining such sum the court may take into account any payment or other reward received by the offender on or after the date of conviction, but only if the prosecutor satisfies the court that it was received by the offender in connection with drug trafficking carried on by the offender or another on or before that date.
(6)Section 4 of this Act shall, subject to any necessary modifications, apply in relation to the making of a confiscation order in pursuance of this section as it applies where the prosecutor has moved for a confiscation order under section 1 of this Act.
(7)Section 1(2B), (2C), (2D) and (2E) of this Act shall not apply in relation to a confiscation order made in pursuance of this section.
(8)The assumptions mentioned in section 3(2) of this Act shall not apply for the purposes of this section.
(9)Where the court makes a confiscation order in pursuance of this section and a compensation order has been made under section 58 of the Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 1980 in respect of misappropriation of property by the offender, the court shall direct that compensation shall first be paid out of any sums applied towards the satisfaction of the confiscation order to the extent of any sums outstanding in respect of the compensation order.
(10)In this section “the court” means the court which had jurisdiction in respect of the offence concerned to make a confiscation order under section 1 of this Act.”.
