Criminal Justice (Joint Investigation Teams) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
Senator Maurice Hayes raised the question of where prosecution would take place. It will take place in the country which takes the initiative in establishing the joint investigation team. We envisage that that will be the country mainly affected by the crime. If there is evidence of offences having been committed in other countries, what will happen in practice is that the seconded members from the countries concerned will be prepared to attend court to give evidence of these offences to reinforce the prosecution's case.
