Treasury.gov Seized Property ⏬👇

Treasury.gov seized property is the official public website for all federal agencies with legal authority over seized assets, including customs, OFAC, ATF and FBI. The Department of the Treasury’s Asset Forfeiture Program is responsible for managing and disposing of the property seized by IRS Criminal Investigation Division, U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers, and U.S. Secret Service Special Agents in connection with criminal investigations. Treasury also works closely with other federal agencies conducting forfeiture operations, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, Drug Enforcement Administration and Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division to manage seized assets valued over $50 million at any given time.”

The Treasury Department has a property management system, known as Asset Forfeiture Tracking and Reporting System (AFTRAK), that helps track the disposition of seized properties. Treasury.gov auction is a Government program that sells the seized property of criminals and terrorists, helping to pay for law enforcement efforts while providing fair market values.

Treasury is committed to working for the integrity and protection of the United States financial system and ensuring that the U.S. remains a global leader in taking effective action against those who use U.S.-based financial structures and institutions to commit crime around the world. We do this through asset forfeiture, sanctions, diplomatic initiatives and outreach programs
