Article 213H Seizure of listed assetsF1
A relevant officer may seize any item of property if the relevant officer has reasonable grounds for suspecting that—
it falls within the description specified in an external order which has been forwarded in accordance with article 213A (action to give effect to external order),
it is a listed asset,
it is recoverable property, and
the value of it is not less than the minimum value.
Where the powers conferred by this article are being exercised by a relevant officer in respect of more than one item of property, this article is to apply as if the value of each item was equal to the aggregate value of all of those items.
The references in paragraph (2) to the value of an item are to be read as including references to the value of part of an item where the power conferred by paragraph (1) is being exercised.
This article does not authorise the seizure by an SFO officer of an item of property found in Scotland.
