The court documents which he agreed to and signed stated that he was an active participant of a heroin trafficking organization, and the money he forfeited represented proceeds of heroin trafficking which he was an active participant in

The IRS is a tax agency and though they conducted the investigation that revealed the full extent of his criminal activities, they were only interested in the tax evasion part

Punishment for tax evasion could be a fine or asset forfeiture, jail term, or both, and in this case he was given asset forfeiture as punishment

The DOJ was responsible for prosecuting him for the heroin trafficking crimes but it seems the IRS didn’t share that information with the DOJ, or DOJ had other bigger responsibilities and didn’t give priority to him.

As you know, it wasn’t until 9/11 that agencies started working more closely together and sharing information better with one another

Even if we do not like someone, we should be careful about spreading lies or misinformation. I am not aware of any documents in which Tinubu admitted to being a member of a heroin trafficking gang or network. Such admission if it were true, may qualify for criminal prosecution and indictments.

I know there were speculations and circumstantial evidence linking Tinubu to Akande and his heroin gang but the US Government apparently did not have enough evidence to pursue a case in that direction and simply opted for a Civil Forfeiture case.
