Two men from Perth have been accused of participating in the illegal trade of drugs. As a result, they were forced to surrender over $640,000 in cash and fancy watches valued at around $90,000. These assets were suspected to have been obtained through criminal activities.
In September 2022, as part of a Federal Police investigation, a large amount of cash and high-end Swiss watches from prestigious brands such as Rolex and Audemars Piguet were seized. These items were found in a cardboard box. The investigation led to the discovery of 5.7kg of methamphetamine during raids of a warehouse and multiple hotel rooms in Malaga and Innaloo. These locations were linked to the two suspects.
The two men were charged with offenses related to drug trafficking and money laundering. Currently, their cases are still ongoing in court. Acting on behalf of the Australian Federal Police, the Criminal Assets Confiscation Taskforce took on the responsibility of tracing the origin of the seized assets. Once the investigation was completed, they made a request to the state's District Court to have the assets restrained.

Meanwhile, the funds in question, once forfeited to the Commonwealth, are sold and converted into cash. This money is then placed into an account managed by the Official Trustee. These funds can then be allocated by the Attorney-General for the benefit of the community. This includes measures aimed at preventing crime, diversion programs, and other law enforcement initiatives throughout Australia.
