Show Notes
An organised crime expert believes New Zealand's failure to curb criminal activity isn't due to a lack of trying.
A ministerial advisory group has released its second report criticising our response to modern crime and money laundering.
It shows the cash and assets seized by police is just 4.2% of the $1.6 billion in criminal profits each year.
