From: Alex Harris
Dear Ministry of Justice,
Pack in 2009 Parliament passed the Criminal Procceds (Recovery) Act. I would like to request some statistics about its use in the three years since it came into effect.
For each of the years 2010, 2011, and 2012:
* the number of restraint and forfeiture orders applied for, and the number that were successful;
* for forfeiture orders, whether they were conviction or non-conviction based. If conviction based, the statistical breakdown of offences, and the number made against people acquitted of the suspected offence or whose convictions had been quashed.
* the value of assets forfeited. if available, I'd like this broken down between conviction and non-conviction-based orders).
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Harris
