This Order also makes provision under section 445 of the 2002 Act for investigative orders (equivalent to those in Part 8 of the 2002 Act) to be made in support of an “external investigation”. The terms “external request”, “external order” and “external investigation” are defined in section 447 of the 2002 Act, and in summary refer to:requests from an overseas state to prohibit dealing with property which is suspected to derive from criminal conduct (“external requests”);orders for the recovery of specified property or sums of money which derive form criminal conduct (“external orders”), andinvestigations into whether property has been obtained as a result of or in connection with criminal conduct, or the extent or whereabouts of such property, and investigations into whether a money laundering offence has been committed (“external investigations”).",
