Payback Review
Since 2003 the Proceeds of Crime Act (POCA) has provided law enforcement and partner agencies with the opportunity to recover material possessions and money from individuals convicted of criminal offences. In the first 3 years of these powers being available almost £250 million was recovered from criminals across England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
