Property seizure is a legal process where law enforcement or government authorities take possession of an individual's property. This often occurs when the property is believed to be connected to illegal activities, such as drug trafficking or money laundering. The seizure can involve various types of property, including real estate, vehicles, and cash. In many cases, property seizure is governed by laws that require authorities to provide evidence of wrongdoing. Individuals may have the right to contest the seizure in court, seeking to reclaim their property if they can prove it was not involved in any illegal activities.
