9 9 WHY SHOULD I BOTHER WITH ASSET FORFEITURE?
10 WHY DO FORFEITURE? 10 Because you drive this. Because a defendant on probation shouldn t pull up next to you at a red light driving this.
11 PURPOSE OF ASSET FORFEITURE LAW ENFORCEMENT Effective tool to fight crime and protect the community Strengthen cases Weaken criminal enterprises Return illegal proceeds to victims of crime 2. PUNISH THE CRIMINAL Beyond putting the criminal in prison, Government can take away proceeds of the crime so he cannot enjoy them once he is released Deter illegal activity If the criminal does not get to keep the money or assets from his crime, the next criminal may think twice before committing a crime
12 PURPOSE OF ASSET FORFEITURE DETER ILLEGAL ACTIVITY If the criminal does not get to keep the money or assets from his crime, the next criminal may think twice before committing a crime 4. REMOVE THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE Take property used by criminals to commit their crimes so the property cannot be used again 5. DISRUPT THE ORGANIZATION Taking money away from the criminal enterprise will disrupt and dismantle the organization s operation 6. PROTECT THE COMMUNITY Eliminate hazards to public health, safety and welfare
13 PURPOSE OF ASSET FORFEITURE RETURN ASSETS TO VICTIMS Compensate victims of underlying crimes
14 TIMELINE THROUGH HISTORY Congressional Act of 1789 Vessels and cargo for violations of customs laws 1986 Anti-drug Abuse Act 14 Late 1800s/early 1900s Prohibition Violators of laws on the manufacturing, sale and taxation of alcohol 1970 Controlled Substance Act Drug trafficking Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act Organized crime 1978 Psychotropic Substances Act Drug proceeds 1984 Comprehensive Crime Control Act Facilitating a drug offense Established the Assets Forfeiture Fund 1988 Anti-drug Abuse Act 1989 Financial Institution Reform, Recovery and Enforcement Act Bank fraud and other crimes affecting financial institutions 1990 Crime Control Act 1994 Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act 2000 Civil Asset Forfeiture Reform Act +250 crimes 2001 USA Patriot Act Global and domestic terrorism
15 AUTHORITY FOR ASSET FORFIETURE 15 Piecemeal collection of statutes enacted over time for different purposes No common law of forfeiture
16 STATUTORY BASIS FOR FORFEITURE 16 There must be a federal statute authorizing forfeiture of the property. Examples: 21 USC 853, 881 (Drug Forfeiture Statutes) 18 USC 981 (Money Laundering Forfeiture Statutes) 18 USC 924(d) (Firearms Forfeiture Statutes) 16 USC 1538 and 1540 (Endangered Species Act)
17 ENDANGERED SPECIES ACT FORFEITURE 17 Florida State Marine Mammal
18 THEORIES OF FORFEITURE: WHY WE CAN TAKE ASSETS? 18 Contraband Property unlawful to possess Proceeds Property acquired by or traceable to unlawful activity Facilitating Property Property used to commit crime Property Involved In Money Laundering Accounts that funds were moved through to conceal true nature and source Property affording a source of influence over RICO enterprise
19 FORFEITURE PYRAMID 19
20 CONTRABAND 20
21 PROCEEDS 21
22 FACILITATING PROPERTY 22 Property that makes the crime easier to do or harder to detect Examples: Marijuana grow operation inside a house Vehicle driven to a drug deal Weapon used during a bank robbery
23 COMMONLY FORFEITED ASSETS 23
24 UNIQUE FORFEITED ASSETS 24
25 UNIQUE FORFEITED ASSETS 25
26 TYPES OF FORFEITURE: HOW WE CAN TAKE ASSETS? 26 Civil in rem Administrative (non-judicial matter handled by the seizing agency; requires statutory authority) Judicial (court process) United States v. $1,500 in Bank Account XXXX United States v. Real Property at 1234 Any Street Criminal - in personam Requires a judicial action initiated by the USAO United States v. John Smith
27 ADMINISTRATIVE FORFEITURE 27
28 ADMINISTRATIVE FORFEITURE 28 Accounts for approximately 70% of all forfeitures by asset count because most forfeitures are uncontested, meaning no one files a claim However, the value of administrative forfeitures is not the majority of forfeiture value
29 ELIGIBLE PROPERTY: 19 U.S.C Monetary instruments of any value Personal/tangible property of $500,000 or less Bank accounts capped at $500,000 Drug conveyances Boat, car, plane, etc No maximum value Illegal merchandise Contraband, drugs Real property cannot be administratively forfeited
30 CRIMINAL FORFEITURE 30 Criminal forfeiture is part of the sentence in a criminal case. It is an in personam action, meaning it is against the person (defendant). It requires a charge that supports forfeiture and a conviction.
31 CIVIL FORFEITURE 31 Civil forfeiture is a civil action in rem against the property itself. Property must exist. The Government proves the property, not the person, was derived from or was used to commit a crime, or was involved in the crime.
32 WHAT DOES THE GOVERNMENT DO WITH FORFEITURE PROCEEDS? 32 Compensates victims Provides resources to state and local law enforcement Equitable sharing Joint law enforcement operations Supports federal asset forfeiture program and nationwide initiatives Task force and case support Money judgment follow-up Training
33 33
34 FORFEITURE VICTIM STATISTICS 34
35 RETURN ASSETS TO VICTIMS 35 A benefit of forfeiture is the ability to obtain money for victims Federal prosecutors are required to include asset forfeiture in indictments Forfeiture tools allow for early restraint of assets as opposed to post-sentencing recoveries available through FLU Almost every crime has a forfeiture provision allowing for forfeiture
36 VICTIM COMPENSATION IN THE NEWS 36
