34ZC  Seizure of other property and documents

 (1) A search warrant issued under Part 3‑5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act in relation to a foreign serious offence authorises an authorised officer to seize property or a thing that he or she finds and that he or she believes on reasonable grounds to be:
 (a) proceeds or an instrument of the offence or a property‑tracking document in relation to the offence, although not of the kind specified in the warrant; or
 (b) proceeds or an instrument of, or a property‑tracking document in relation to, another foreign serious offence in relation to which a search warrant issued under that Part is in force; or
 (c) something that:
 (i) is relevant to a criminal proceeding in the foreign country in respect of the foreign serious offence; or
 (ii) will afford evidence as to the commission of an Australian criminal offence.

 (2) However, this section only applies if the authorised officer believes on reasonable grounds that it is necessary to seize the property or thing in order to prevent its concealment, loss or destruction or its use in committing an offence.
