been obtained as a direct or indirect result of action taken under that Act;

does not prevent the property, documents or information being used for the purposes of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 .

(a)

that Division continues to apply in relation to any document in relation to which it applied immediately before the commencement of sections 3 to 338 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 ; and
