    Civil asset recovery allows the government to seize assets even when no criminal charges are filed, if they were involved in criminal wrongdoing. This practice began in the United States in the 1980s to combat drug kingpins, and has since expanded to also cover assets involved in fraud and other white collar crimes. Civil asset forfeiture shifts the burden of proof to the property owner to prove that the assets were not involved in crime.
