Provisional attachment under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was confirmed where seized institutional records, mark sheet registers and corroborative documentary information established large scale issuance of forged degrees and diversion of funds as proceeds of crime; appellants served notice under section 8(1) failed to satisfactorily disclose legitimate sources for attached movable and immovable properties, so the attachment was sustained.
