The Drug Trafficking Offences Act 1986 (c. 32) is an act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
Provisions The act was the first act specifically dealing with laundering the proceeds of drug trafficking. The legislation was enacted as a direct response to the failure of the courts' power making it impossible under the law, as it stood, to confiscate some £750,000 of drug trafficking proceeds which were traced directly to the offenders convicted in consequence of Operation Julie.
The act enables the forfeiture of unlawful proceeds.
Further developments The act was replaced the Drug Trafficking Act 1995.
