The Bureau continued to target assets deriving from a variety of suspected criminal conduct including drug trafficking, environmental crime, fraud, theft, burglary, diesel laundering, money laundering and human trafficking.

The Bureau, through the IAO, engages with our international partners including Europol, Interpol, Camden Asset Recovery Inter Agency Network (CARIN), United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) and the Asset Recovery Network (ARO).
