Court filings state the Section 53 application was made following investigations under Section 113 of the Income Tax Act. They also indicate investigation work under Section 4(1) of the AMLATFPUAA, alongside the AMLATFPUAA framework used for the restraint request.
The restraint targets dealing with assets held in Jersey
The matter before the court concerns offshore assets located in Jersey, identified as being held by or linked to Na’imah. MACC’s application seeks to prevent her from managing those assets, as well as to stop any parties linked to her from dealing with them.
