IRS Expert Opines on Illegal Asset Seizure by Agents

Case Overview

This case involves an individual whose personal property was wrongfully seized by the IRS. It was alleged that the IRS wrongfully seized the individual’s property, which consisted of a large quantity of gold and precious stones. The search warrant that the IRS used to search the individual’s office, where the goods were stored, did not include a forfeiture, warrant, or any authorization to seize the gold or any personal property of the plaintiffs. It was claimed that the IRS agents lacked the proper authorization to seize the individual’s property.
