Asset Forfeiture

Country Estate
The 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.
Assets available for sale are listed at http://www.usmarshals.gov/assets/assets.html
 

The Northern District of California currently uses Lone Star Auctioneers to dispose of jewelry and coins and other personal property.
