Smith and Owen on Asset Recovery: Criminal Confiscation, Civil Recovery, Money Laundering, and Sanctions provides an authoritative analysis of asset recovery law and practice across domestic, European, and international contexts. Aimed at judges, legal practitioners, and financial investigators, it addresses both criminal confiscation and civil recovery procedures as well as the taxation of crime proceeds through administrative proceedings. The book explains investigatory powers, compensation and restitution orders, forfeiture procedures, and the legal framework surrounding money laundering and terrorist financing. It discusses financial sanctions and offers enhanced procedural guidance, reflecting recent updates in asset recovery law. Lastly, the book also integrates developments in related areas such as property, trust, and insolvency law, acknowledging the complex intersection of civil and criminal law in this field.
