Presenter Nelli Bird looks at how well a law designed to take money from criminals is working.
She talks to the man who pioneered the legislation, former home secretary David Blunkett, and hears from a barrister who says the law is “designed to fail”.
Nelli also meets a man whose team of crack financial investigators have recovered more than £2m from convicted criminals.
And she comes face-to-face with Jack “Hammer” Marshman, Wales’s first champion cage fighter.
