Attachment of immovable property acquired before a scheduled offence may be treated as proceeds of crime or as property of equivalent value where actual proceeds are untraceable; the article explains that the definition of proceeds of crime includes direct proceeds and equivalent value property, and that prior acquisition does not preclude attachment when a connection or equivalence is shown.
