Search and seizure powers: authorised officers may enter, seize or freeze property and must report reasons to the adjudicating authority. Section 17 authorises officers to enter, search, break locks, seize records, proceeds and property related to money laundering where a recorded reasoned belief exists; to mark, copy and inventory items and examine persons on oath; to freeze property where seizure is impracticable; to forward recorded reasons and material to the Adjudicating Authority in a sealed envelope after search, seizure or freezing; to seize evidence found during survey searches without prior subsection (1) authorisation; and to apply within thirty days to the Adjudicating Authority for retention of seized property or continuation of freezing orders.
