Thus, from the assessment reports of the Revenue and R&B Department, it was established that the property was prima facie acquired from the proceeds of illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances by the owner of the above-mentioned houses, which is much more than their legal known source of income," the release said.
