      Solution

      Under Section 2 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, proceeds of crime means any property derived or obtained, directly or indirectly, by any person as a result of criminal activity relating to a scheduled offence, or the value of any such property, including property held abroad. The concept of proceeds of crime is central to the Act, as money laundering involves dealing with such proceeds. The link to a scheduled offence is essential for the application of the Act's provisions.
