Expert Criminal Lawyers in Sydney for NSW in Crime Commission Defense

The Australian Crime Commission and New South Wales Crime Commission were established as criminal intelligence agencies. They have very broad powers to investigate serious criminal offences and activities. In addition, the Commission also administers the Criminal Assets Recovery Act 1990.

The Commission’s functions and powers are set out in the Crime Commission Act 2012 and the Criminal Assets Recovery Act 1990. They are broad investigative powers.

The New South Wales Crime Commission Act 1985 (NSW) Section 16,  gives the committee the power to summon a person to appear before the Commission and give evidence. If you are summoned by the Commission to attend, it is not a criminal law matter. However, it is imperative that you speak to a criminal defence lawyer.

 

If you refuse to do so, you can be arrested and subsequently charged with failing to attend and answer questions. This offence carries a maximum penalty of 20 penalty units and/or two years of full-time imprisonment.

No, the superior courts have held that the mere fact that answering questions would tend to incriminate you does not provide a reasonable excuse. Basically, if you have not yet been charged for a criminal offence related to the investigation, you must answer the questions. Failure to answer questions may amount to contempt and the penalties preceding this paragraph apply.

If you appear before the NSW Crime Commission as a witness, you are not permitted to disclose any information relating to the investigation.

 

If you fail to do this, you can be fined up to 50 penalty units and/or sentenced to up to 12 months of full-time imprisonment.
