Marset defense challenges El Salvador crypto account seizure ahead of US trial

The defense of Sebastián Marset, a Uruguayan drug trafficker arrested in Bolivia and extradited to the US, is seeking to nullify the seizure of four cryptocurrency accounts held in El Salvador. The move signals a legal battle over cross-border crypto asset forfeiture, with implications for how jurisdictions cooperate on laundering proceeds. The outcome is uncertain and hinges on El Salvador's cooperation and US court rulings.
