Proceeds of Crime Act 66/2025

FOI Reference: 66/2025

Request:

I am seeking information relating to confiscation orders under the Proceeds of Crime Act.

For each year between 2022-2024 (2022, 2023 and 2024) please provide the 10 cases with the largest “criminal benefit”. Please detail for these ten cases the value of the criminal benefit, the value of the confiscation order obtained, and the total value that has been recovered to date.

Clarification sought:

Are you wishing for the combined figures for the 10 cases per year or for them broken down separately for each of the 10 cases per year.

Clarification received:

I would please for the information to be broken down into top ten for each year.

Response:

I can confirm that Dyfed-Powys Police does hold the information requested, the details of which are as follows:

Additionally, Dyfed-Powys Police can neither confirm nor deny that it holds any other information with regard to an exempt body as the duty in Section 1(1)(a) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 does not apply by virtue of the following exemption:

Section 23(5) Information supplied by or concerning certain Security Bodies.

Section 23 is a class-based absolute exemption and there is no requirement to consider the public interest in this case. Confirming or denying the existence of whether any other information is held would contravene the constrictions laid out within Section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 in that this stipulates a generic bar on disclosure of any information applied by, or concerning, certain Security Bodies.

(This is a response under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and disclosed on 11/03/2025)
