Section 147 - Dishonestly receiving

(1) A person commits the criminal offence of dishonestly receiving property which that person knows to have been obtained or appropriated by a criminal offence, if that person receives, buys, or assists in the disposal of the property otherwise than with a purpose to restore it to the owner.

(2) It is immaterial whether the criminal offence by which the property was obtained or appropriated was or was not committed within the jurisdiction of the Court.

(3) Where the property was obtained or appropriated beyond the jurisdiction of the Court by an act the doing of which within the jurisdiction would be a criminal offence punishable under this Act, the act is, for the purposes of this section, equivalent to a criminal offence punishable under this Act.
