Parliament approves legislation outlawing terrorist organisations and confiscating assets

ST. GEORGE’S, Grenada, CMC – The Grenada parliament has approved an amendment to existing terrorism legislation so to confiscate the assets of anyone once the Attorney General is of the belief the asset was gain through terrorist activities.
Previously, law enforcement authorities had to prove that the asset was directly link to a terrorist group or gain through the group.
“This amendment to the law has broader in scope to ensure that persons who assist especially in the area of financial transactions also have their assets be frozen,” said Gregory Bowen, Leader of Government Business, as legislators approved of the amendment on Tuesday.
