* DOJ Asset Forfeiture Publication Updates Acquired Through FOIA Requests

In a follow-up to this July 25, 2004 posting - Depository Libraries Directed to destroy DOJ Pamphlets - this update, via Mike Ravnitzky, from the Forfeiture Endangers American Rights Foundation (FEAR): "In response to our FOIA requests, this week the DOJ released three manuals to us voluntarily -- the 2006 versions of: Selected Asset Forfeiture Statutes, Money Laundering Statutes and Related Materials, and the DOJ Asset Forfeiture Policy Manual. These manuals are hot off the presses -- the two compilations of statutes (both of which include what appears to be a complete collection of every relevant federal statute on the subject -- and some very useful tables and "related material") were published in May 2006."
