Patient Information


This report concerns an individual who is suspected of having possession or control of information relevant to a financial crime investigation. The purpose of this report is to provide confidential medical treatment and diagnosis guidance.

Background


The Chief Technical Director has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the individual in question has committed, is about to, or is likely to commit a financial crime. An authorized officer may apply to a Judge in Chambers or Resident Magistrate for an order requiring the individual to produce information, books, records, or documents relevant to the investigation.

Investigation and Treatment


The authorized officer may require the individual to:

  • Produce any information, book, record, or document that is in their possession or control.
  • Make such information, book, record, or document available for inspection.
  • Answer questions either immediately or at a specified time and place.

Additionally, the authorized officer may be granted permission to enter business premises during office hours to carry out an audit or examination of accounts, books, records, or other documents related to that business.

Confidentiality


The individual’s obligation to maintain secrecy or any restriction on disclosure of information imposed by law or otherwise shall not be relied upon as a bar to producing or inspecting orders. The production or making available of such information, book, record, or document would not breach the confidentiality obligations.

Treatment and Diagnosis


Based on the investigation, the authorized officer may require the individual to undergo treatment and diagnosis for any underlying medical conditions that may be relevant to the financial crime investigation.

Consequences of Non-Compliance


Failure to comply with an order made under this section or knowingly providing false or misleading information in purported compliance with such order is considered an offense punishable by law.

Conclusion


This report outlines the investigation and treatment procedures for individuals suspected of having possession or control of information relevant to a financial crime investigation. The confidentiality and obligation to maintain secrecy shall not be relied upon as a bar to producing or inspecting orders, and any failure to comply with such orders may result in legal consequences.
