Easten Regional Special Operations Unit Asset Realisation Framework

All items offered for sale under the agreement will be legitimate pre-purchased goods, only the method of the original purchase was corrupt.

The proceeds from confiscation orders go back into the public purse to fund future prosecutions and benefit the community and the Contractor will maximise the return on the items sold.
