Unexplained wealth orders

Reports on unexplained wealth orders under Section 362IA of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.

Unexplained wealth orders require people or organisations to explain how they obtained a property. They’re issued when there are reasonable grounds to suspect either:

  • the person or organisation’s known sources of income would not be enough to obtain the property
  • the property was obtained through unlawful conduct

These reports show:

  • how many times law enforcement agencies applied for an unexplained wealth order
  • how many unexplained wealth orders were issued by the High Court
