Serious Organised Crime Agency v Khan, Queen’s Bench Division

The defendant was the subject of a tax evasion investigation that began in Northern Ireland. A property freezing order had been granted in respect of property in the country.

The Serious Organised Crime Agency had applied for another freezing order in respect of property owned by the defendant in England.

The claimant said the English properties were recoverable property as defined in Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, s 245 and s 304.

The High Court agreed the Serious Organised Crime Agency had good grounds for its argument and allowed the application.
