Proceeds of Crime (Gross Human Rights Abuses) Bill 2020: Discussion

Ms Rachel Woods:

They can be interlinked. The point, however, is that the assets generated by the profit-generating crime can already be seized. We do not need further legislation. If there is human trafficking or drug trafficking, then we already have the powers to seize those assets. In those cases, we do not need to prove the much more difficult human rights abuse link. This is the distinction.
