He plays a pivotal role in coordinating efforts among various federal agencies, including the Australian Federal Police and AUSTRAC, to trace, restrain, and confiscate assets linked to criminal activities. Jerga has noted a growing trend among criminals who are more concerned about losing their luxury assets than facing jail time, highlighting the financial implications of asset seizure in organized crime. His insights reflect the evolving landscape of crime in Australia, where cash usage is declining in favor of cryptocurrencies and other high-value possessions.
