Steve Symon: Organised crime expert on New Zealand's response to and efforts to curb organised crime

An organised crime expert believes New Zealand's failure to curb criminal activity isn't due to a lack of trying.   A ministerial advisory group has released its second report criticising our response to modern crime and money laundering.   It shows the cash and assets seized by police is just 4.2% of the $1.6 billion in criminal profits each year.   Group Chair and top lawyer Steve Symon told Mike Hosking Police are doing an excellent job addressing the problem and just need more tools.   He says the number of seizures is fine by international standards, but not enough to properly disrupt operations.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
