[2004] EWCA Crim 408

In the circumstances, sentences of six and nine years' imprisonment for a conspiracy involving counterfeit banknotes were not manifestly excessive. In confiscation proceedings a judge was entitled to take into account evidence that had not been called at trial since, by virtue of Criminal Justice Act 1993 , ordinary rules of criminal evidence did not apply and a civil procedure was adopted.
