This afternoon the National Crime Agency gave an explanation for the order.

Reports over the weekend had suggested the project may even be scrapped to pay for any kind of fallout from Brexit.
There had been rumours of a rebellion among Conservative MPs over the £55.7bn high-speed railway line, with a pause in the project said to be under consideration for the Tory manifesto.
However, communities minister Andrew Percy told MPs there was currently no change in the government's position.
Two cats who were seemingly thrown away in Castleford by their owners and found in an upside-down pet carrier in a field are now waiting to be re-homed.
The pair are thought to be a mother and daughter and were found unhurt by someone who was out walking.
The RSPCA came and rescued the animals, but they say there's no CCTV coverage so it's impossible to find out who left the cats.
They are now being cared for at RSPCA's Leeds, Wakefield and District Branch and are looking for new owners.
Quote MessageIt is very sad to see them abandoned in this way. Hopefully a home can now be found as they are lovely cats.”
