State Auditor Tom Schweich recently released the 2011 Criminal Forfeiture Act (CAFA) report. The CAFA requires prosecuting attorneys and the attorney general to submit an annual report to the state auditor’s office summarizing the disposition of all property, including cash, seized pursuant to state law.
