Authorities in Panama have seized what they call "a record haul of drug money"

  Over US$10 million, were found in cash in a residential house in Nueva Providencia on Wednesday. The sum is more than the national authorities there have ever seized from a criminal gang. According to the prosecutor's office, it took investigators more than 12 hours to add up all the money using a dozen machines. Several even failed due to the strain. The hard cash was found in three different hidden locations in the house during a crackdown on gangs linked to neighbouring Colombia's embattled 'Gulf Clan' (Clan del Golfo). 10 firearms and 38 luxury vehicles belonging to the group were also seized. The bust resulted in the arrest of 57 people who are all suspected of working with the cartel. They are all accused of receiving large quantities of drugs from Colombia and hiding it before sending it on to the United States via Central America. Five of the suspects are police officers. 

Colombia is the world's largest exporter of cocaine and the USA is the main consumer

The US Drug Enforcement Administration also took part in the operation which began in February 2020. It is now considered the biggest and most powerful criminal organisation in Colombia. Colombia is the world's largest exporter of cocaine and the USA is the main consumer. The infamous cartel controlled around a third of Colombia's production of the drug,... The clan's network reaches 28 countries and it operates in alliance with Mexican mafias. 'Otoniel' was caught in Colombia and could face extradition to the USA.

Since Biden "took" office, no doubt records will be set in seized drug money, with 'the US being the main consumer'.

"Biden is our friend"

[G.L.R.]

These bills are in American money. Biden has unleashed unimaginable misery. The borders are the only obstacle to a deluge of drugs coming in and mass suicides.

'You're taking money out of my kids' mouths': US Marine sues after the DEA confiscated his entire life savings of $87K during routine traffic stop

Excerpt: A Nevada State Highway Patrol officer pulled him over for driving slowly and confronted Lara about the cash, who denied it was for any criminal purpose.

Although Lara was never charged with a crime, a DEA agent helped the officer seize the cash as part of its 'adoption' policy, which allows them to take property connected to criminal activity without ever levying criminal charges.

The DEA immediately returned the money following the lawsuit and a report from the Washington Post.

'If this could happen to me, as combat veteran who served overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan, this could happen to anybody,' Lara said in a video with the IJ.

'The DEA sat on his life savings for months, ignoring the legal deadlines requiring it to charge Stephen with a crime, begin a civil forfeiture case against his property, or return the money within six months of seizure. The DEA did none of those things,' said lawyers.

Lawyers claimed the officer made the call because he was enticed by the money. According to the DEA's adoption policy, the agency can give up to 80 per cent of the assets seized in a suspected crime back to state agency that found the money.

In 2019 alone, federal agencies paid more than $334 million to state and local law enforcement agencies in connection to civil forfeiture cases. 

'This is an inherently abusive power that state and local law enforcement should not have,' Wesley Hottot, an IJ lawyer representing Lara, told the Washington Post. 'What we see almost exclusively are people like Stephen who — perhaps had quirky banking practices — but they're not guilty of any crime.

'And yet, in the nation's airports, on the nation's roads, they're treated by police as though a large amount of cash by itself is criminal. And that power is too dangerous to give every police officer on the street.'

In January 2021, then-US Attorney for the District Nevada Nicholas Trutanich reported that $8.6 million worth of property was seized in that state last year.
