Malaysia law lacks provisions for the mandatory forfeiture of proceeds obtained from drug trafficking. Therefore, the Malaysian Parliament is considering a bill that would detain without trial criminal drug syndicate leaders or others found to have been involved or associated with drug trafficking. Additional legislation to authorize forfeiture of proceeds from drug trafficking is also being considered, provided such legislation can overcome constitutional problems relating to the secrecy of bank accounts and tax returns and the need to trace proceeds and keep track of tainted money abroad. A serious lack of international cooperation exists for investigations that would trace, seize, and secure forfeiture of proceeds of drug crimes committed abroad. (Author abstract modified)
