Abstract

This academic article aimed to explain the problems and provide suggestions for property legal proceedings under anti-money laundering laws. The analysis revealed two issues with property legal proceedings under anti-money laundering laws when using digital forensic evidence: (1) the operation of property proceedings under anti-money laundering laws, and (2) the expansion of the investigation of property proceedings under anti-money laundering laws. The following suggestions were made: (1) related agencies should have formulated policies and strategies corresponding to the approaches of the Anti-Money Laundering Office (AMLO), (2) the Anti-Money Laundering Act should have been adjusted to correspond with the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), (3) policies and interagency agreements on information reporting and database establishment should have existed between related agencies, and (4) the standard for the legal measure of admissibility of digital evidence should have been set according to foreign standards.
