7 unexplained wealth orders (UWOs) have been made on 3 cases, including one which was discharged and replaced by another.

6 interim freezing orders (IFOs) related to the UWOs have been made, covering a number of properties. The total estimated value of the IFOs is £140m. At this stage it is not possible to determine how much of this property is foreign owned.
