  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order amends the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (External Investigations) Order 2013 (S.I. 2013/2605) (“the 2013 Order”) in relation to external investigations. The provisions of the 2013 Order broadly correspond with the civil recovery investigation provisions in Part 8 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (c. 29) (“the domestic provisions”). The amendments made by this Order reflect amendments made to the domestic provisions by section 49(a) of, and Schedule 19 to, the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c. 22). The amendments enable powers under the 2013 Order to be exercised in relation to property or a person who holds or has held that property if the external investigation relates to that property or person.\nAn impact assessment has not been prepared for this instrument as no impact on the costs of business or the voluntary sector is foreseen.",
