Purpose: The Narcotics Law as a foundation in law enforcement to eradicate illicit drug trafficking, is not effective enough in tackling narcotics crime, because the legal paradigm adopted in the narcotics law is oriented towards imprisoning the perpetrator (follow the suspect), while the assets resulting from narcotics crimes continue to be used for narcotics trafficking and distribution. The problem is what is the urgency of renewing the model of asset forfeiture from narcotics crimes? What is the ideal model of asset forfeiture from narcotics crimes? Design/Methodology/Approach: The research method used is a normative approach and empirical approach sourced from primary data and secondary data. Primary data is obtained by means of field studies and interviews while secondary data is obtained by means of literature studies. The data that has been collected is analyzed qualitatively.
Findings: The urgency of updating the model of seizure of assets resulting from narcotics crimes must receive attention in criminal law policy, this is because the current mechanism is not adequate and even tends to use assets as an instrument of illicit drug trafficking, which should be maximized for the rehabilitation of drug addicts and abusers. The future model of asset forfeiture in relation to the renewal of the investigation for asset forfeiture of narcotics crimes is a model of asset forfeiture without punishment. This model is known as in rem forfeiture, or also known as civil forfeiture, and NCB asset forfeiture. The NCB model is essentially a suit brought against assets, not against persons. The action is separate from the criminal court, but only determines that the assets have been tainted by the criminal offense.
