Proceeds of Crime Act 2002

Proceeds of Crime (Scotland) Act 1995 (c.43)

672.Much of the Proceeds of Crime (Scotland) Act 1995 deals with confiscation of the proceeds of crime and many of its provisions are superseded by the Act. However, Part II of the 1995 Act makes provision for the forfeiture of property used in crime – as opposed to being the proceeds of crime. These provisions are being retained as they have no equivalent in the Act. The amendment therefore removes all the provisions in the 1995 Act dealing with confiscation of the proceeds of crime.
