Civil Forfeiture

Any property, which may be real or even personal, and is involved in an operation or attempted operation which is in violation of section 1956, 1957 or 1960 of title 18 of the US Code is subject to civil forfeiture.

Similarly, any property within the jurisdiction of the US, derived from any proceeds which are obtained directly or indirectly from any offense committed against a foreign nation, is also subject to a civil forfeiture.

In cases pertaining to the involvement of illegal goods, services and unlawful activities, and other instances of fraud schemes, the term "proceeds" means and includes property of any kind which is obtained either directly or indirectly, as a consequence of the occurrence of the offense which results into forfeiture.

In an event where the property is taken over by a State enforcement agency and turned over to a Federal law agency for the purpose of a civil forfeiture, a notice is issued within 90 days from the date of seizure made by such State.

In any action brought for the civil forfeiture of any property, the burden of proof lies on the Government to institute by evidence that the property is subject to forfeiture.
