The applicant failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that the respondents committed the alleged offences or that the properties were proceeds of unlawful activities. While fraud was established in relation to documents submitted to the Ministry of Home Affairs, there was no causal connection between that fraud and the properties. The requirements for forfeiture under POCA were not met.
