Afghanistan's Justice Sector Case Management System: Seized or Forfeited Assets Were Not Tracked and Nationwide Implementation is Not Complete

Abstract

The State Departments Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) began implementing the Case Management System (CMS) in 2005. The system provides the capability to track criminal and civil cases in a transparent and legally sufficient manner from opening of a case until it is completed. The resistance to implementing CMS by the Attorney Generals Office (AGO) has been an area of concern for the Department of Justice (DOJ). Based on the DOJs concerns and the slow implementation of CMS, SIGAR initiated a review of it simplementation. Our objectives were to determine whether: (1) case files inputted into CMS by the Attorney Generals Office were complete, (2) seized and forfeited assets are being tracked in CMS, and (3) progress is being made implementing CMS nationwide.
