President of the National Drugs Council the CND, Mabel Feliz has revealed in an astonishing quote to national newspaper Diario Libre that out of the considerable amount of properties which are siezed from drug traffickers including motor cars, houses, motor cycles and helicpoters, that one "is in the hands of someone which I am not going to say their name".

Mabel Feliz also continued to say that changes need to made with the Assets Laundering Committee, and that a suggestion would be that if the accused/owners are in agreement too, then their assets be sold and the money deposited in a financial "certificate" until the accused sentence is issued.

The National Drugs Control Agency has some siezed assets but alot of the time assets are just kept in the deposits of the Justice Ministry's Office of Siezed Assets.  At the moment this office has 5 helicopters.

There is a time delay problem in siezing assets and the accused coming to court, their assets being valued and sold due to courts' delays in handing down decisions. 

Mabel Feliz also said that the decision to speed the process up would also see the end of paying security guards to watch the said assets and it would also prevent their use to run "personal errands".

According to the current CND inventory there are:-

97 apartments

42 houses
