2C:66-3. Issuance of an order

3. Issuance of an order. If the court finds that:

a. there exists a reasonable suspicion that the account holder has committed or is about to commit the crime of terrorism in violation of section 2 of P.L.2002, c.26 (C.2C:38-2) or the crime of soliciting or providing material support or resources for terrorism in violation of section 5 of P.L.2002, c.26 (C.2C:38-5);

b. the accounts of the account holder are specifically identified; and

c. it is necessary to freeze the account holder's funds or assets to ensure eventual restitution to victims of the alleged offense,

the court may order the financial institution to freeze all or part of the account holder's deposited funds or assets so that the funds or assets may not be withdrawn or disposed of until further order of the court.

As part of the consideration of an application in which there is no corroborative evidence offered, the judge shall inquire in camera as to the identity of any informants or any other additional information concerning the basis upon which the Attorney General has applied for the attachment order which the judge finds relevant in order to determine if there exists a reasonable suspicion pursuant to this act.

L.2003,c.22,s.3.
