Justice Manual § 9-118.100
Introduction
The Attorney General issues The Attorney General’s Guidelines on the Asset Forfeiture Program (Guidelines) to set forth the Asset Forfeiture Program’s fundamental goals and policies. These guidelines supersede the July 1990 “Attorney General’s Guidelines on Seized and Forfeited Property,” as later amended in November 15, 2005, and any other conflicting policy guidance. The Guidelines have been updated to reflect changes and to promote efficient administration of the Asset Forfeiture Program and the Department of Justice’s Assets Forfeiture Fund (AFF).
