This statute, 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(7), also supports a plain language interpretation of § 1437d(i)(6). It is a civil forfeiture statute that makes leasehold interests subject to forfeiture when used to commit drug-related crimes.6 21 U.S.C. § 881(a)(7) was amended concurrently with the passage of § 1437d(i )(6) as part of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988. Section 881(a)(7) specifically includes a knowledge requirement. Under it, no property otherwise subject to forfeiture may be seized if the owner establishes that the property was used in drug-related criminal activity “without the knowledge or consent of that owner.”
