The Financial Crime Group (FCG) is made up of the Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), Asset Recovery Units (ARU) and Money Laundering Teams (MLT) with a presence across all Police Districts.

The VAT will provide a dedicated internal FCG resource to grow FCG’s capacity and capability to identify and investigate the growing presence of virtual assets, including cryptocurrencies and Non-Fungible Tokens, within FCG investigations.

Increasing the FCGs capability to take appropriate action where virtual assets are suspected or identified in investigations, ensures NZ Police is a step ahead of organised crime and can deliver maximum impact to the criminal environment.

This position presents an ideal opportunity for someone wishing to develop their skills, knowledge and experience to investigate complex asset recovery investigations involving virtual assets, organised crime groups and individuals involved in money laundering and serious criminal offending.

The Specialist Investigator VAT position includes reviewing and assessing a variety of alleged criminal offending, conducting investigations to identify ownership and/or beneficial ownership of assets, determine and quantify legitimate and illegitimate income on an evidenced basis to advance successful court proceedings to restrain and forfeit assets derived from crime. They will conduct investigations and assist with expertise to identify, trace, seize and restrain virtual assets that have been used to facilitate or are the proceeds of crime.

**Key Accountabilities**:

- Investigate complex asset recovery investigations
- Provide expertise in identifying, tracing, and seizing virtual assets
- Connect with workgroups within the FCG, NZ Police and other key partners
