Question:342 Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform the value of assets and moneys currently held by the Criminal Assets Bureau or awaiting court orders allowing disposal of properties; the amount of money expected to be transferred to the Exchequer from the CAB in 2010 and into the near future. [6355/10]
View answerThe Criminal Assets Bureau, pursuant to its statutory remit, has pursued the proceeds of crime by using powers granted under the relevant Proceeds of Crime legislation and provisions under the Revenue and Finance Acts, and legislation and regulations under the Department of Social & Family Affairs. Monies collected under the provisions of the relevant revenue and Social Welfare legislation are returned to their respective Departments with other monies being returned to the Exchequer.
It is not possible to predict the amount of monies which will be transferred to the Exchequer during 2010 until an Order has been perfected by the High Court or money has been collected under the Taxes or Social Welfare Acts. The following table shows the monies and estimated value of assets seized under each of the relevant headings from 1996 to 2008. Figures for 2009 are currently being compiled.
