Forfeiture Unit

A Forfeiture Unit is a specialized department within law enforcement or a legal agency that focuses on confiscating property, money, or assets gained through illegal activities such as drug trafficking, money laundering, or fraud. Its purpose is to ensure that criminals do not benefit financially from their crimes and to help recover assets for use in public interest. This process, called forfeiture, can be part of criminal or civil proceedings, and the unit works to identify, seize, and manage these assets lawfully.
