He added: «This power will give our law enforcement agencies the tools they need
to tackle the increasingly complex and global nature of terrorism and gather and analyse evidence
to prosecute
terrorists who make ever
greater use of new technology such as encrypted computers.»
As is well - known, international and national criminal activity and terrorism rely a
great deal on the ability
to launder criminal money into usable «clean» funds, both
to allow the proceeds of crime
to be
used in the open economy and
to finance
terrorist activity in the UK and overseas.
