Section 104: Money laundering: disclosures to identify persons and property

The obligation to disclose suspicions of money laundering will apply only if: the person required to make a disclosure knows the identity of the person engaged in the money-laundering offence or the whereabouts of any of the laundered property; or the information which would have to be reported discloses, or may assist in uncovering, the identity of the person engaged in that offence or the whereabouts of any of the laundered property.

228.Laundered property is defined in the new subsection (5A) of sections 330-332.
