When Property under Investigation is apprehended to be transferred, an order to restrain its transfer may be made by:

The correct answer is Member of the Agency because statutory authority empowers individual investigating officers to take proactive emergency measures to prevent asset flight.

• Member of the Agency: This is the correct choice. Under Section 5(5) of the FIA Act 1974, if an investigating member (not below the rank of Sub-Inspector) believes asset transfers or disposals will occur before a formal court seizure order can be secured, that member can issue a written order restraining its transfer.
• Incorrect Options:
  • Federal Government / Ministry of Interior: These are incorrect. While these high-level authorities oversee the agency's broad administrative mandates, they are not the specific field entities delegated to draft immediate property restraint orders during active investigations.
