Cops to seize assets

The police say they will be moving to seize the assets of at least 20 men said to be persons of interest.

Commissioner of Police Owen Ellington made the disclosure while speaking at a forum hosted by the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica at the Hilton hotel in Kingston on Thursday.

When contacted afterwards, Ellington said that the majority of the persons whose assets are to be seized were called in for questioning during the state of emergency which was recently imposed on Kingston and St Andrew.

"The police will be carrying out investigations against some of these persons with the aim of seizing their assets," the commissioner told THE STAR.

According to Ellington, those who are being investigated could be charged and tried in court under the Proceeds of Crime Act wherein the state has power to seize assets which are found to be gained through involvement in criminal activity.

In the aftermath of sporadic acts of violence across the country and attacks on the security forces and police stations, the police released the names of over 30 persons, requesting that they turn themselves in for questioning.
