Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what information her Department holds on the number of Forfeiture Orders granted as a result of Account Freezing Orders made on accounts (a) intended for use in criminal sanctions evasion or (b) which contain the proceeds of sanctions evasion from February 2022 to date.

Due to reasons of operational security, the National Crime Agency (NCA) cannot provide this information.

This Government has recovered more criminal assets than ever before. Between 2016/17 and 2021/22, just over £1.4bn was taken out of the hands of criminals using Proceeds of Crime Act powers.
