18 U.S.C. Sec. 982(a)(5) FORFEITURE INSTRUCTION is a legal provision that outlines the procedures for forfeiture of property when it has been acquired through criminal activity. This provision applies to any person convicted of certain federal crimes, including certain drug offenses, money laundering, and tax offenses. The types of property subject to forfeiture include proceeds of the offense, any property involved in the offense, and any property constituting or derived from the proceeds of the offense. The court may order the forfeiture of any or all of such property to the United States. The court may also order the forfeiture of any substitute property, which is any property that is of equal or greater value than the forfeited property. Additionally, the court may order the forfeiture of any other property as deemed necessary for the interests of justice.
