I.13 Which coercive measures?

A number of coercive measures exist which may be utilised to facilitate the investigation. Although these are obviously applied by the police, the involvement of the Attorney General is necessary and at times obligatory, depending on what type of coercive measure is required. Examples of these coercive measures are investigation orders, attachment orders, and orders for the freezing of property of persons accused with offences cognizable by Courts outside Malta (sects. 435A to 435E CC chapter 9).
