Abstract

Outlines relevant New Zealand legislation against money laundering, including the Crimes Act 1960, the Proceeds of Crime Act 1991, and the Financial Transactions Reporting Act 1996. Discusses a specific case of prosecution of a lawyer under the latter Act in 2002: this was “New Zealand Police v Samuel Devereux”, in which Devereux was convicted for failing to report suspicious transactions. Moves on to the obligations of casino owners to prevent their use for money laundering; gambling in New Zealand has grown rapidly, and there is no clear gambling policy. Outlines the provisions of the Responsible Gambling Bill 2003.
