The reasonable time frame is to be mutually agreed between the Investigating Officer (IO) and the reporting institution. Constant engagement between both parties is highly recommended.

Funds are to remain frozen so long as the enforcement order under the AMLA is still valid (i.e. 90 days from the date of the freezing order).

No dealings with the funds are allowed, unless authorized by the IO of the relevant law enforcement agency. Reporting institutions are advised to constantly communicate with IO on this matter.

In practice, the Seizure Order under section 50(1) of the AMLA is also copied to the customer by the IO from the relevant law enforcement agency.
