While Swedish courts are empowered to issue orders to sequester and forfeit drug trafficking assets, it is difficult to prove relationships between drug trafficking and property obtained with illegal profits. Forfeiture orders cannot be carried out if the offenders do not live or own property in Sweden or if Swedish citizens transfer illegally-acquired profits abroad. Because current agreements among governments are not effective in dealing with these problems, the U.N. Commission of Narcotic Drugs should create an international agreement permitting governments to assist one another in tracing, freezing, and forfeiting the profits of drug crimes. 4 references.
