The mechanisms for identification and freezing criminal assets are set forth in the Criminal Code under section 462.3 — Part XII.2 — Proceeds Of Crime. Under section 462.37 of the Criminal Code, the court may order the forfeiture of any property, including property located outside of Canada, that it finds, on a balance of probabilities, is the proceeds of crime and that the offence was committed in relation to that property. If the court does not find that the offence was committed in relation to the property concerned, but finds beyond a reasonable doubt that the property constitutes proceeds of crime, the court can still forfeit the property. In cases where the property cannot be forfeited due to being transferred to a bona fide third party, located outside of Canada or commingled with other property and therefore difficult to divide, the court may order a fine of an equivalent amount. Section 490.1 extends forfeiture to instrumentalities of the offence. The Seized Property Management Act governs the administration of property frozen, seized or confiscated by the State. It authorizes the Minister of Public Works and Government Services to manage, administer and dispose of property that has been frozen, seized or confiscated.
