<p>The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) collected £88,069,419 in the 2016-17 financial
year in respect of confiscation orders where it was the Lead Enforcement Agency.</p><p>Domestic
confiscation orders, once obtained are enforced by Her Majesty’s Courts and Tribunals
Service (HMCTS). The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) assists in the enforcement process
in situations where it can add value, such as by managing restraint orders, seeking
the appointment of enforcement receivers and, in relation to assets held overseas,
seeking assistance from other jurisdictions. It is the Lead Enforcement agency in
these cases. When the CPS can no longer add value to the enforcement of a confiscation
order, the responsibility for enforcement reverts to HMCTS and the CPS no longer monitors
its progress.</p><p>The CPS only retains data on those orders in which it assists
in the enforcement process. The latest data relates to March 2017.</p>
