Mark Mitchell: National Police spokesperson says tightening Proceeds of Crime Act misses the bigger issue with gangs

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

A claim tightening the Proceeds of Crime Act isn't the right way to deal with gangs. It's understood the Government will announce a law change which will make it easier for police to seize gang assets held under associate's names. The law will also make it harder for criminals to shelter money with KiwiSaver. National Party Police spokesperson Mark Mitchell told Kate Hawkesby while it's good to go after assets, it misses the bigger issue. “They are not going to make any tangible impact right now on the amount of gang violence and gun violence that we’re currently experiencing.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
