Understanding Civil Asset Forfeiture Civil asset forfeiture is a legal process where a government agency seizes property believed to be involved in criminal activity, even if the owner hasn’t been formally charged with a crime. Federal agencies like the IRS, DEA, and FBI frequently utilize this process, often targeting funds or property suspected of being connected to drug trafficking, money laundering, or other offenses.
