Asset seizure etc.

It's the Proceeds of Crime Act
where after the guy is convicted and sentenced for his fraud they then do a POCA hearing to determine how many of his assets they can recover.

We've got a guy in for POCA at the moment who was convicted of counterfeit DVDs and benefit fraud to the tune of £200k. His POCA is worth £10k because he's spent it all.
