“…At present, there are very few registered extinctions of domain trials or rulings in the states under study. 12 Taking the above into consideration, it is necessary to rethink the public policy strategies being used to attack criminal financial structures. However, the purpose of this study is to identify the early work, challenges, and opportunities for these efforts to be strengthened, promoting policy learning, and making clear their importance toward contributing to the strategy against criminality.…”

“…Such access, for example, facilitates the granting of permits to open businesses that provide cover for money laundering-bars, casinos, dance clubs, liquor stores, and so on. Protection of their drug trafficking routes is another benefit purchased by political financing, allowing the criminal cartels to move freely through vast territories through collusion with officials [11,12].

Given its vast border with the United States, Mexico is a strategic trade and economic development region, which creates significant challenges in combating crime and violence. In recent years, Mexico´s federal and state governments have focused their efforts on the development of strategies to combat and weaken the criminal structures operating in the country by using legal instruments such as seizure, abandonment, and extinction of domain. This study seeks to identify the challenges faced by the states of Baja California, Chihuahua, Coahuila, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, and Tamaulipas in their efforts to combat crime through the collection of primary and secondary data and interviews with key actors. Mexico faces major challenges in the development of public policies to fortify the legal precepts of extinction of domain, in addition to fostering institutional links with the Financial and Patrimonial Intelligence Units of Mexico's northern Border States. There are few studies about subnational efforts for asset forfeiture as a policy instrument against criminal elements in developing countries. The Mexican case presents important subnational efforts to improve security strategies that may provide guidance for other subnational governments or regions that may be facing similar challenges or are pursuing parallel initiatives.
