I have a very high level of strategic thinking, which I consider to be one of my strengths. This attribute has allowed me to have considerable success in investigation outcomes whilst managing both costs and the time taken to resolution. I believe I have demonstrated an ability to clearly assess an environment and recognise both the risks that are presented and the most appropriate solutions to mitigate those risks. My exposure to both domestic and international environments gives me a unique insight into explicit problems that exists and successful solutions to those problems.
Combating the organised crime enterprise requires a comprehensive network of collaboration between the public and private sector that is far more advanced than simply focusing on those who undertake the underlying predicate crime. The presence of complicit and non-complicit professional gatekeepers who operate in plain sight, also complicates effective outcomes. For this reason, it is important to have a broad understanding of the entire suite of legislation, practices and procedures grounded in both the criminal and civil law.
My experience in transnational crime including, tax evasion, money laundering and illegal asset identification, restraint and confiscation, have led me to conclude that whilst difficult, success is not impossible. As a matter of fact, during my career, had I had more resources available to me, the significant successes could have been even more fruitful. There is an extensive amount of financial criminal mischief that can be identified if you are aware of where to look and have the focus and resources to disrupt it. An example of this is, prior to the commencement of the Commonwealth Asset Confiscation Taskforce that I was responsible for, the Commonwealth of Australia’s total restraint was $18 million. After being given responsibility to help redesign, coordinate and enhance the capability of the Commonwealth in this regard, I took the total amount restrained for the year to $247 million prior to my departure from the Australian Federal Police. I remain convinced that the number could have more than doubled if more resources had been made available.
Despite leaving the Australian Federal Police, I have not lost my passion for the work I do and that is why I founded The Murinbin Group. I am committed to formulating strong collaboration between the public and the private sector to enhance success and it is for these reasons, I believe I have the skills, aptitude and temperament that you are looking for to help you succeed in achieving your desired outcomes.
