Determination - Firearms Traffi cking The Firearms Trafficking Determination commenced in May 2003 with the objectives of investigating, disrupting and dismantling fi rearms traffi cking organised crime groups active in Australia, and improving intelligence on the nature and extent of the fi rearms trafficking threat to Australia. The ACC’s Firearms Traffi cking Special Investigation represents the collaborative operational arrangements between the ACC and its law enforcement partners. Firearms seized by the ACC The current concerns with fi rearms traffi cking in Australia are refl ective of the domestic climate, both politically and within law enforcement. The major source of illegal fi rearms in Australia is the diversion of legal fi rearms from people who have legitimate access. This is largely facilitated by a small number of corrupt licensed fi rearms dealers, licensed fi rearms owners/users, as well as people in the private security sector and various government agencies (for example, defence, law enforcement and corrections). Organised criminal groups are key consumers of illegally traffi cked fi rearms. The ACC has had a major impact on criminal groups trading in firearms in 2003–04. ACC intelligence and investigations, usually in partnership with police, have dismantled several fi rearm traffi cking syndicates. This included a syndicate in NSW involved in the production of thousands of lethal and highly concealable key-ring guns. Most recently, working with police in Victoria, an ACC investigation seized a major cache of fi rearms and ammunition. A range of assets including a house, land and vehicles were restrained under state legislation as a result of fi rearms investigations. Table 4.1: Output 1.3 – Firearms Traffi cking proceeds of crime forfeited Measure Total Assets restrained $1,581,200 Pecuniary Penalty Orders (PPO) $94,000 The use of coercive powers under the Firearms Traffi cking Determination provided valuable information on fi rearms traffi cking, the location of weapons and information on organised tax evasion.
