Part 7: Investigation and enforcement (Sub‐group 3: Implications of investigations and enforcement: international cooperation aspects)

Abstract

Deals with the impact of anti‐terrorism initiatives on the operational areas of investigation and enforcement. Focuses first on investigation powers, such as power to restrain terrorist property, obtain a search warrant, require production and access to particular material and an explanation, require a financial institution provide customer information, monitor accounts, and assessment. Moves on to terrorist finance‐related offences, according to the Terrorism Act 2000 Part III, and mutual legal assistance; measuring success by the cost of mounting a terrorist campaign, and the impact of measures against terrorist finance; culture, including organisational culture and Special Branch culture; organisational structures, including cultural change, organisational change for intelligence gathering, disruption of illegal activity short of arrest, arrest and prosecution, and the impact of human rights legislation; resource management, ie staff dedicated to terrorist finance issues and a formal structure for dealing with it; and international cooperation after September 11.
