The Court was satisfied there were reasonable grounds to believe the cash and the 2003 Audi were tainted property and that the respondent had unlawfully benefited from significant criminal activity; the respondent had effectively consented to forfeiture by signed statement and by not opposing; accordingly, under the Criminal Proceeds (Recovery) Act 2009 (including s53) a forfeiture order was properly made by consent fixing the benefit and maximum recoverable amount at $244,065 and directing realisation of the specified assets.
