Drug proceeds confiscated

After a series of investigation by the Financial Investigation Group of the Customs Drug Investigation Bureau, a total of $426,000 of drug proceeds in two drug trafficking cases was ordered by the courts to be confiscated in the past two days.

The first case was heard on Wednesday (April 2), in which a sum of $326,000 of the drug proceeds was ordered by the High Court to be confiscated from a member of an international drug syndicate. The order was granted under the Drug Trafficking (Recovery of Proceeds) (Designated Countries and Territories) Order 1991.

The confiscation was the result of a lengthy joint investigation into the international drug syndicate by the Customs Financial Investigation Group and the US law enforcement agencies. After a series of investigations, a member of the syndicate was arrested in Hong Kong and extradited to the US for trial.
