Proceeds of crime abroad: amendments expand jurisdiction, extend timelines and modify bail, disclosure and restoration procedures. Amendments expand the definition of proceeds of crime to include property abroad, adjust computation of the 180 day adjudication period by excluding court stay durations and allowing an additional post vacation period, permit limited continuation of investigations and enable the Special Court to consider restoration claims during trial. They reallocate certain arrest and bail procedures to the Special Court, revise cognizability and bail criteria to delink Schedule dependence and allow leniency for less grave laundering allegations, substitute a Joint Director designation for summons powers, require the Director to share information on suspected contraventions with other agencies, and add corporate fraud as a Schedule predicate offence.
