MINISTER FOR Justice Alan Shatter is working with his European counterparts to establish an EU-wide asset confiscation regime similar to that of the Criminal Assets Bureau.
Mr Shatter said Cab’s activities had received recognition abroad and that co-operation in a European context would add “real value” to efforts in targeting the proceeds of criminal activities.
He said a Government review of the legislation underpinning Cab’s work is continuing with a view to strengthening its powers.
