Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986 [1] was the first act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom specifically dealing with laundering the proceeds of drug trafficking. The legislation was enacted as a direct response to the failure of the courts' power making it impossible under the law, as it stood, to confiscate some £750,000 of drug trafficking proceeds which were traced directly to the offenders.
