Last year the Metropolitan Police undertook a co-ordinated series of raids against three London Safety Deposit Box businesses under the code name "Operation Rize".
I think that this operation may well become a turning point in how, why and where the Proceeds of Crime Act is used in the UK. The link to an excellent article is below.

However, before I sound off on the subject, I'd welcome your thoughts on Operation Rize. Was it, from your point of view a success or an overreaction? Was it exactly what POCA was designed to do or was it an abuse of process?
The floor is yours.
