Section 339ZF: Section 339ZB: supplementary

Proceeds of Crime Act 2002 · 2002 c. 29View on legislation.gov.uk

Part 7: Money Laundering

A relevant disclosure made in good faith does not breach—

an obligation of confidence owed by the person making the disclosure, or
any other restriction on the disclosure of information,

however imposed.

But a relevant disclosure may not include information obtained from a UK law enforcement agency unless that agency consents to the disclosure.

In a case where a person is acting on behalf of another ("the undertaking") as a nominated officer—

a relevant disclosure by the undertaking must be made by the nominated officer on behalf of the undertaking, and
a relevant disclosure to the undertaking must be made to that officer.

Subsection (1) applies whether or not the conditions in section 339ZB were met in respect of the disclosure if the person making the disclosure did so in the reasonable belief that the conditions were met.

In this section—

  • "relevant disclosure" means any disclosure made in compliance, or intended compliance, with section 339ZB;

  • "UK law enforcement agency" means—

    (a)the National Crime Agency;

    (b)a police force in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales;

    (c)any other person operating in England, Scotland, Northern Ireland or Wales charged with the duty of preventing, detecting, investigating or prosecuting offences.
