Basic Function</b></div><div><br>
This Deputy Attorney General position is an advanced prosecutor position in the Office of Attorney General&rsquo;s Criminal Law Division. The Asset Forfeiture &amp; Money Laundering Section is responsible for the litigation of all asset forfeiture cases from law enforcement agencies with statewide jurisdiction and the supervision of financial investigations leading to money laundering assets and large property seizures. These cases are complex and often involve multiple defendants and numerous types of property.</div><div></div><div><br>
The Section is primarily responsible for the litigation of asset forfeiture cases pursuant to Chapter 58 of the Judicial Code relating to Forfeiture of Assets. This Chapter provides for the forfeiture of property that was used to facilitate violations of the Drug Act as well as property representing proceeds of drug trafficking. Chapter 58 also applies to other statutory forfeitures which include sex offenses, chop shops, gambling, and liquor code violations and trademark and recording device counterfeiting. The cases usually involve the forfeiture of cash, automobiles, jewelry, bank accounts and other financial instruments, and real estate.</div><div></div><div><br>
The attorneys of the Section supervise money laundering investigations and litigate the resulting prosecutions when appropriate. Working in conjunction with financial investigators, they have the expertise to trace hidden assets, expose straw buyers, analyze bank records, and develop financial profiles. This position is responsible for all phases of money laundering prosecutions including making charging decisions and preparing for and attending arraignments, preliminary hearings, pretrial conferences, pretrial motions and hearings, trials (bench/jury), post-trial motions and hearings, and sentencing hearings.</div><div><br>
As a Deputy Attorney General II (DAG II) gains experience, work increases in complexity and is performed with more independence. A Deputy Attorney General III will work independently on most matters. A willingness to travel is an essential part of this position, and an intimate knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure is necessary to perform these duties.</div></div><br>

Basic Function</b></div><div><br>
An attorney in this section investigates and prosecutes all forms and types of insurance fraud. The matters involved range from the relatively simple to the extraordinarily complex. The duties are divided into two related and inextricably bound stages: investigative and prosecutorial.</div><div></div><div><br>
The investigative stage begins with the assignment of a referral of suspected insurance fraud to an attorney and an agent. The attorney and agent will work together to coordinate and to conduct the investigation. The complexity of the matter to be investigated determines the nature of the investigative tools used. Generally, the more simple investigations involve a review of insurance company records and other relevant documentation, interviewing witnesses, and the preparation and execution of search warrants when necessary. In the more complex, long term investigations, the Grand Jury and electronic surveillance might be needed.</div><div></div><div><br>
In larger more complex cases, IFS attorneys and agents may work with other sections of the Office, including the Appeals and Legal Services Section, when complex legal issues arise, or additional investigative resources are needed. In matters involving significant sums of money, coordination with the Asset Forfeiture Administration Unit may be required to seize and preserve assets for forfeiture/restitution.</div><div></div><div><br>
Once an investigation is completed and a decision is made to pursue a prosecution, either a complaint or a Grand Jury Presentment is prepared. Following arrest, the assigned attorney is responsible for all phases of prosecution, including arraignment, preliminary hearing, pretrial conference, pretrial motions/hearings, trial (bench/jury), post-trial motions/hearings, and sentencing hearings.</div><div></div><div><br>
An intimate knowledge of criminal law and criminal procedure is necessary to perform these duties. As a Deputy Attorney General II (DAG II) gains experience, work increases in complexity and is performed with more independence. A Deputy Attorney General III (DAG III) will work independently on most matters.</div></div><br>
