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

Forfeited firearms cannot and will not be sold and must be destroyed. The Southern District of Alabama currently uses Tranzon-Hagen Auction Co., Inc. to dispose of real property, vehicles and other personal property.
