Thailand gives prosecutors power to seize drug assets

The Act on Measures for the Suppression of Offenders in an Offence Relating to Narcotics was published on 27 September 1991 and took effect the next day. It created a Narcotics Asset Examination Committee, allowed seizure and forfeiture of proceeds and property used in narcotics offences, made conspiracy a separate offence, and increased penalties for officials involved. It applied to cannabis, then a Category 5 narcotic.[1]
