Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion
Mr. Kevin McMeel:
The position is that this section 4 stage only happens currently seven years after the determination that the asset is the proceeds of crime. If somebody is renting that property for the entirety of that seven years, at the risk of appearing callous, one would have assumed they would be on notice of the fact that property is to be sold eventually.
