The proceeds of all assets seized and forfeited from a DEA case are deposited into the Department of Justice, Assets Forfeiture Fund. Profits from drug-related crimes, as well as those profits properly used to facilitate certain crimes, are subject to forfeiture to the government. Law enforcement agencies that participated in the investigation receive an equitable share of the forfeited assets. Money seized during the course of an investigation can be used to further combat crime by funding law enforcement programs.
