Eastern District of PennsylvaniaAsset ForfeitureThe primary mission of the Department of Justice Asset
Forfeiture Program is to employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that
enhances public safety and security. This is accomplished by removing
the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and
their associates to perpetuate their criminal activity against our
society. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal
organizations that would continue to function if we only convicted and
incarcerated specific individuals. |
