Property earmarked as terrorist propertyU.K.

12(1)Property obtained through terrorism is earmarked as terrorist property.U.K.

(2)But if property obtained through terrorism has been disposed of (since it was so obtained), it is earmarked as terrorist property only if it is held by a person into whose hands it may be followed.
