Hill Street Police Raid


When Skies Are Grey

Ffs do you really believe that a request for assistance was made and the assister did not know about it? Do you not think this has been fully planned and co-ordinated well in advance?

The word "assistance" can take on a very strange nature when used to describe activities between authorities. "Assistance" can be offered in such a way that one doesn't wish to refuse it! I don't believe that the UK crew were here to carry the local boys' bags do you?

I don't think HMRC need permits for anything - let alone work permits. The powers are massive, there are more rules and regulations in force for the UK security services than the men and women from the revenue.

 

They can put a door in when ever they fancy.

Update:

 

Officers from the Isle of Man Constabulary Financial Investigation Team have continued their searches today at a number of addresses, executed under search warrants in and around Douglas, in respect of an ongoing investigation into multiple fraud and money laundering offences.

IOMC, supported by HMRC and the NCA will continue their searches through this evening into tomorrow.

 

About 19.15 hours today a suspect previously arrested and questioned by HMRC yesterday in the UK was ...further arrested on arrival to the Island, in relation to suspected conspiracy offences and money laundering within the IOM jurisdiction.

 

Officers from the IOMC are actively seeking the whereabouts of another individual in respect of the same offences, who is believed to be in the UK

Hypothetical question.

 

What if I buy my house from a seller that has stolen the money, or been naughty in getting the money, to buy it in the first place?

Under the Proceeds of Crime Act certainly the property could be confiscated from the purchaser if they are a crook who bought your house with illegal funds. If you are the seller and were unaware of the illegal source of the purchase money (why would you as your lawyer banks the money in his client account so legally has to verify the source of those funds under Manx AML legislation) then it's unlikely you would be affected. The other way round (eg: you buying a property from a criminal or a money launderer) your money is clean so the lawyer who handled the sale has verified the source of wealth/funds as required under Manx Law before you received the property. It's not the criminals asset anymore. What he did with your purchase money is at risk though if he originally bought the house with what is subsequently proven to be illegal funds.
