Cash in a laundry basket, luxury vehicles and ... a $43,000 KiwiSaver account.

Police are pursuing the assets of a Comancheros member jailed for his involvement in a drug network busted by Operation Avon, they've already seized cash and cars, and now they're after his retirement savings.

NZ Herald Open Justice reporter Ric Stevens explains how proceeds of crime laws work, what happens to assets before a criminal case is resolved, and where the money ends up once it is forfeited to the Crown.
