Cash forfeitures
In 2002 $134,334 was seized in four separate cases under the Proceeds of Crime Act 1997. These funds had been changed from Bermuda dollars into US dollars and were about to be exported out of the country by a "human courier" and were linked to drug trafficking activity.
As a result of those seizures, in the early part of 2003 $102,260 was ordered forfeited by the court and deposited in the Confiscated Assets Trust Fund. The remaining money is still subject to a cash detention order with a view to making a forfeiture application in the near future.
Two confiscation orders have also been made by the court, one for $86,000 that was paid in full and the other for about $62,000 that has not been paid as yet.
Further confiscation applications are now before the court.
