Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Proceeds of Crime Act?

POCA allows the State to restrain and forfeit assets suspected to be the proceeds of criminal activity, even before a criminal conviction. Legal representation is critical as soon as a restraint order is made.

Can assets be restrained before I am charged?

Yes. Under POCA, assets can be frozen at an early stage of an investigation. Acting quickly with legal counsel is critical to protecting your rights and challenging these orders.

What should I do if I receive a MLAT notice?

Contact a lawyer immediately. MLAT requests involve international cooperation between governments and can have serious legal implications for your matter in Jamaica and abroad.
