While commonly perceived as an arm of An Garda Síochána the Criminal Assets Bureau is in fact an independent body set up by the Criminal Assets Bureau Act of 1996 and declared to be a "creature of statute" by the High Court in 1998. It was the first in a number of stand alone agencies set up by the Government to criminally investigate and prosecute [through the D.P.P.] in fields outside of the ordinary competence of the police [such as the Revenue's joint Taxes and Customs Prosecution Division, the Cartel Division of the Competition Authority, the Office of the Director of Corporate Enforcement and the Environmental Protection Agency]
Asset forfeiture continues to be used to seize assets and proceeds derived from illegal narcotics trafficking, but the FBI also uses asset forfeiture in white-collar crime cases.
Asset forfeiture is incorporated into these investigations to seize and forfeit assets acquired from the criminal activity, to act as a deterrent to others contemplating similar activity, and to compensate victims of the criminal activity.
An asset forfeiture investigation is conducted in the early stages of fraud cases to identify assets derived from fraud and, in some cases, the assets laundered through financial institutions.
