      Solution

      Under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, provisions exist for the restoration of confiscated property to legitimate claimants, including bona fide third parties who have a valid interest in the property and who acted without involvement in money laundering.

This protects the rights of innocent persons and victims who may have a genuine claim to the property, balancing confiscation with fairness to legitimate stakeholders.
