On the balance of probabilities the intercepted communications, discovery of large sums of cash concealed in the car, additional cash and incriminating items at the respondent's address, the absence of legitimate income records to explain the assets and inconsistent, unsubstantiated accounts about the vehicle purchase established that the cash and the Dodge motor vehicle were tainted property and an assets forfeiture order should be made vesting those assets in the Crown under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009.
