She added that the Viscount’s department had already seized goods to the value of £64,426 and asked for that to be confiscated.

She also said that the Crown may wish to return to court to ask for further money, if they are able to get more details from the prisoner.Darren’s advocate, Caitriona Fogarty, simply stood up and said: ‘The order is not opposed.’Deputy Bailiff Michael Birt, who was sitting with Jurats Rumfitt, Tibbo, Bullen, Le Breton and Allo, made the order and granted the Viscount the power to realise the assets of all properties that had been seized.
