4. The Attorney General may apply to a court of civil jurisdiction for forfeiture to the State of any property that, in whole or in part and even indirectly, is derived from unlawful activity or was used or is intended to be used to engage in unlawful activity.
The Attorney General may also file an incidental application requesting the court to declare rights in the property unenforceable because they are of a fictitious or simulated nature or because they were acquired out of the proceeds of unlawful activity.
An application under this section is filed and heard according to the rules of the Code of Civil Procedure (chapter C-25.01), and the rules of evidence in the proceedings are those applicable in civil matters.
