[2012] EWCA Crim 332

Rental income received on a property purchased by an offender when she was unlawfully claiming social security benefits amounted to benefit from criminal conduct. A judge had therefore been entitled to include it in a confiscation order, as the offender would not have received the rental income "but for" her criminal conduct.
