Search and seizure powers authorised for money laundering investigations subject to prior reporting and witness safeguards. Rule 3 authorises the Director or authorised officers to delegate search powers and empowers authorised officers to enter and search premises, vessels, vehicles or aircraft where records or proceeds of crime are suspected; to break locks, seize, mark, copy and inventory records or property, and to examine on oath persons in possession or control. Searches require that a report or complaint enabling cognizance of the scheduled offence be forwarded or filed before they proceed. The rule mandates attendance of respectable local witnesses where practicable, permits occupants or representatives to be present, and authorises forced entry and inspection with assistance when admission is refused, including special notice provisions when a woman who customarily does not appear in public is present.
