FORMER director of the Counter Trafficking Unit (CTU) of the National Security Ministry, Alana Wheeler, has praised the work of a special investigations task force that led to a major breakthrough in a 2019 human trafficking and money laundering investigation.

This case has now resulted in the forfeiture of illicit funds to the state, after the court found that the money was linked to human trafficking and money laundering activities.

“When you are talking about organised crime, you also have to hit the money,” Wheeler said.
