Steve Cullen: Criminal lawyer confident Govt's clampdown on proceeds of crime will be effective
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Sundays
The Government's crackdown on criminal assets is following in the footsteps of other countries. It's unveiled new laws intended to confiscate ill-gotten gains from crime, gang members and their associates. The changes will allow assets to be seized from a person associated with organised crime, if Police suspect they're criminally funded. Criminal lawyer Steve Cullen told Mike Hosking similar rules have been implemented overseas. He says these changes were implemented in other jurisdictions to try to get property off people obviously profiting from criminal activity.
