Code of Federal Regulations Title 28. Judicial Administration § 28.8.11 Interplay of administrative and criminal judicial forfeiture proceedings

An administrative forfeiture proceeding pending against seized or restrained property does not bar the Government from alleging that the same property is forfeitable in a criminal case. Notwithstanding the fact that an allegation of forfeiture has been included in a criminal indictment or information, the property may be administratively forfeited in a parallel proceeding.
