Criminal Assets Bureau (Ireland)

The Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in Ireland is a specialized law enforcement agency that focuses on identifying, seizing, and recovering assets acquired through criminal activities, such as drug trafficking or organized crime. Established in 1996, CAB uses civil law to target the financial gains of criminals, even if they haven't been convicted of a crime. By disrupting the financial foundations of criminal enterprises, CAB aims to deter criminal activity and enhance public safety. It works closely with other law enforcement agencies and employs various investigative techniques to track illicit assets.
