Pre-legislative Scrutiny of the Proceeds of Crime (Amendment) Bill 2024: Discussion

Mr. Kevin McMeel:

There is a provision under section 9 of the Proceeds of Crime Act, under which on direction of the court a person can be compelled to give all of their financial information for up to ten years. There is a positive obligation on them to put what is essentially their balance sheet, income and expenditure in an affidavit.
