Feds Seize Little in Drug Cases Amid Tax Evasion Lapses
Uncle Sam wields broad powers to seize bank accounts and property for tax evasion but pursues minor violators with zeal while failing to curb major drug trafficking. Records show mobsters like Jose Valenzuela and the Black Tuna gang faced heavy earnings with minimal fines or asset forfeitures. Authorities estimate narcotics profits reach billions annually, yet asset seizures under two statutes totaled only about 35 million through 1989, far from the scale of the drug trade.
