The court was asked to say how it was to be shown that the defendant had profited from drug trafficking.
Held: It was for the prosecution to establish to the civil standard that the defendant had made payments out of the funds alleged to have been received from the drug trafficking. It was insufficient to show that he had made payments in general. The section was explicit.
