According to the ACFE Fraud Examiners Manual, Law Section, particularly under The Criminal Justice System and Punishment , criminal forfeiture is a penalty imposed upon conviction that requires a defendant to surrender property derived from or used in the commission of a crime. Criminal forfeiture is in personam, meaning it is directed against the convicted defendant as part of the sentencing process. The objective is to deprive offenders of the proceeds and instrumentalities of their criminal conduct.

In option B, the defendant is ordered to transfer a vehicle she received as a bribe to the government. Because the vehicle constitutes proceeds or benefits obtained through criminal activity, requiring its transfer to the government is a classic example of criminal forfeiture.
