Police call for global laws on dirty cash

Police call for global laws on dirty cash - Scotland on Sunday: "POLICE in Scotland want other countries to change their laws to help them tackle money laundering by 'Mr Bigs'.
The introduction of the Proceeds of Crime Act in the UK has made it easier to strip criminals of their profits. But the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency (SCDEA) believes the rest of the world has failed to keep up.

Prosecutors in Scotland can strip criminals of profits based on 'irresistible inference' - circumstantial evidence - such as a suspicious audit trail or if they are unable to prove their wealth came from legitimate earnings. However, other justice systems require a 'predicate offence', which means they have to prove a crime in court.

The SCDEA says this has hampered Scotland's own efforts as money laundering is 'inherently international'."
