R. v. Vu, Thi, 2026 ONSC 4727

Case Summary

The Crown applied for forfeiture of a property owned by the offender and her brother, arguing it was offence-related property used in human trafficking. The brother, a 30% owner, sought relief as an innocent third party. The offender sought relief from forfeiture of her 70% interest. The court found the property was offence-related and ordered partial forfeiture. The brother was granted relief as an innocent third party unaware of the criminal activity. The offender's 70% interest was ordered forfeited, as the impact was not disproportionate to the gravity of her offence.
