The Australian Federal Police has raided Channel Seven's Sydney offices in relation to the network's dealings with Schapelle Corby.

Agents raided Seven offices in Pyrmont and Eveleigh early Tuesday morning as part of a proceeds of crime investigation.

"The AFP can confirm it has executed a number of search warrants in Sydney in relation to an ongoing Proceeds of Crime Act matter," said a spokesman from the agency.

"As this matter is ongoing it's not appropriate for the AFP to comment further."

Seven reportedly offered Corby $2m for an exclusive interview after her release from an Indonesian prison.

The Proceeds of Crime Act could give federal authorities the power to confiscate any earnings the convicted drug smuggler made from her "criminal notoriety".

The Indonesian government warned that any such interview could breach Corby's parole conditions.
