ASSET SEIZURES UNDER THE PROCEEDS OF CRIME ACT 2002 (CTH)

Picture
The Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 (POCA) is primarily, but by no means exclusively, concerned with the disgorgement of profits allegedly derived from offences against Federal and Foreign law. Litigation under the Act is civil and in many instances the onus of proof is reversed. It has some limited protections and judicial discretions.

Since 2014, in a number of cases around the country, the AFP has been arguing that innocent victims of the money laundering methodology of cuckoo smurfing are not protected by s330(4)(a) when funds are paid into their bank accounts in what is termed a ‘structured’ fashion.
