Criminal Assets Bureau

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) is a specialized law enforcement agency in Ireland that targets the proceeds of crime. Its role is to identify, investigate, and seize assets derived from illegal activities such as drug trafficking, fraud, and organized crime. CAB works to disrupt criminal enterprises by removing their financial incentives, ensuring that those involved cannot profit from unlawful behavior. It combines police powers with financial expertise to track and confiscate assets like property, money, and vehicles, promoting justice and protecting the community from the influence of criminal networks.
