		&lt;div id="textsize"&gt;&lt;p&gt;(&lt;a href="none" class="source"&gt;����ios����&lt;/a&gt;) - Seychelles' officials have seized $456,000 worth of &lt;b&gt;ill-gotten assets&lt;/b&gt; from &lt;b&gt;drug trafficking&lt;/b&gt;, the first such &lt;b&gt;seizure&lt;/b&gt; since the&nbsp;&lt;a href="none" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en-GB&amp;amp;q=http://www.seychellesnewsagency.com/articles/4183/Seychelles%2Banti-narcotics%2Bagency%2Btargets%2Bill-gotten%2Bassets%2Bwith%2Bsetting%2Bup%2Bof%2Bnew%2Bunit&amp;amp;source=gmail&amp;amp;ust=1466234703497000&amp;amp;usg=AFQjCNHbcEIUEqa83kvOB3m2ZxvSMAPLmw"&gt;National Drug Enforcement Agency (&lt;b&gt;NDEA&lt;/b&gt;) extended its mandate&lt;/a&gt;&nbsp;to include such an authority late last year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The accused, 32-year old Hubert Alphonse from Pointe Larue, a district in the east of Mahe, Seychelles’ main island, was charged under the Proceeds of Criminal Act and the Anti-Money Laundering Act.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alphonse pleaded guilty to acquiring the assets through illegal means. Last month the island nation’s Supreme Court ordered the &lt;b&gt;seizure&lt;/b&gt; of his assets worth. Alphonse was also fined $3,854.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seychelles’ &lt;b&gt;Attorney General&lt;/b&gt; Ronny Govinden said the assets included a car-hiring business with 12 cars operating under the name Mahe Safari, a plot of land and $98,000 worth of foreign currencies.&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“The accused was not arrested with any drugs, but we found enough money and other assets in his possession that he could not account for,” said Govinden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the &lt;b&gt;Anti-Money Laundering Act&lt;/b&gt; of Seychelles, a person found guilty is liable to a fine of around $380,000 or a prison term of fewer than 15 years or both.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Because he (Alphonse) took a plea bargain and his assets outweighed the fine set under the law, he did not receive a prison sentence,” said Govinden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;seizure&lt;/b&gt; of Alphonse’s assets is the result of a two-year investigation. According to the local authorities, he had amassed assets over a short period and had a lifestyle not in line with his earnings as a clerk.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The investigation, which involved the &lt;b&gt;NDEA&lt;/b&gt;, the Financial Intelligence Unit (&lt;b&gt;FIU&lt;/b&gt;) and the Office of the &lt;b&gt;Attorney General&lt;/b&gt;, culminated with charges against the suspect in March.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Niall Scully, &lt;b&gt;NDEA&lt;/b&gt;’s Chief Officer, said although Alphonse did not receive a prison sentence, he remains a person of interest.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“He is not immune to be re-examined if we suspect he is trafficking again. We will definitely look into it,” said Scully.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Seychelles’ &lt;b&gt;Minister for Home Affairs&lt;/b&gt;, &lt;b&gt;Charles Bastienne&lt;/b&gt; said, “Through this &lt;b&gt;seizure&lt;/b&gt; we want to send a strong message. Drug traffickers should not benefit at the expense of youths they have poisoned.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Alphonse is the first among eight top drug traffickers being investigated, to have his assets seized by local authorities in Seychelles, an archipelago in the western Indian Ocean.&nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In his &lt;a href="none" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;State of the Nation&lt;/b&gt; address&lt;/a&gt; in February, Seychelles President James Michel said authorities were doubling their effort to ensure that the eight main drug traffickers are arrested and brought to justice.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Some of their assets have been seized temporarily while we proceed with the cases to ensure they have no way of disposing of these assets,” said Govinden.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bastienne said any assets seized as part of criminal activities will be sold, and proceeds go towards rehabilitation programme for drug users.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Drug trafficking&lt;/b&gt; and drug use, particularly heroin, remain a major concern in the island nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
