Curatorships

The firm regularly assists the Asset Forfeiture Unit with Curatorships and Asset Preservation Orders, in terms of the Prevention of Organised Crime Act.  These appointments have included businesses with an asset base in excess of R1 billion.

In terms of these Orders the appointee, as Curator, takes control of the business and continues to trade while the State investigates allegations of criminal activity or fraud. The business and all the assets are preserved pending the outcome of investigations and the criminal trial, after which the assets are either returned to the business owners or forfeited to the State.
