Proceeds of crime tracing and attachment of property of equivalent value were upheld where the accused's son's illicit commission could not be traced to bank or loan records. Tribunal found no loan documentation or repayment evidence and accepted provisional attachment under the relevant confiscation regime; consequence: property purchased even before the offence may be provisionally attached if proceeds are not traceable.
