English to Portuguese Law/Patents Law (general) Police work

The Crown has to prove that the laundered proceeds are "criminal property". Section 340 of POCA sets out that property is criminal property if:

It constitutes a person’s benefit from criminal conduct or it represents such a benefit (in whole or part and whether directly or indirectly), and
The alleged offender knows or suspects that it constitutes or represents such a benefit.
Property is widely defined under POCA and includes:

Money;
All forms of property or real estate;
Things in action and other intangible or incorporeal property.
Due to the definition of criminal property, there is no distinction between the proceeds of the defendant's own crimes and of crimes committed by others (see section 340(4)).
