- High Court
Second respondent's convictions and detailed SARU forensic accounting established unlawful benefit from significant criminal activity of at least $350,000 which respondents failed to rebut on the balance of probabilities; third respondent failed to establish undue hardship and was found to have been wilfully blind to cash flows through his accounts; accordingly a profit forfeiture order for a recoverable amount of $350,000 is appropriate and the Sefton property (subject to mortgage) and $2,800 cash are to be realised; exclusion applications dismissed.
