Authorities have been directed to return Young Thug‘s money and property that were confiscated during the YSL RICO case.

On January 7, Judge Paige Reese Whitaker issued a final ruling dismissing the state’s appeal to retain the rapper’s belongings. As per the court order, the state is required to return the items by 5 pm today (January 9).

The court’s ruling states, “The Court finds that the plain language of statute requires that Claimants’ property be returned promptly, free of liens and encumbrances. The State has not identified any authority that would allow it to retain custody of the property where the forfeiture complaint has been dismissed and now the State’s appeal of that dismissal has been dismissed.”

This decision follows an earlier ruling by Judge Whitaker in August, which ordered the items returned after Young Thug’s attorney, Brian Steel, argued that the state did not conduct a civil forfeiture hearing within the legally mandated 60-day period. The state’s subsequent appeal has now been dismissed, solidifying the order for the belongings to be returned.

The assets set to be returned include $149,427 in cash, several luxury vehicles such as a Porsche, a Corvette, three Mercedes-Benz cars, a Jeep Grand Cherokee, a Dodge Durango, a Lamborghini, and a Can-Am Spyder, along with assorted jewelry.

Multiple firearms were also seized; however, these will not be returned due to an agreement in Young Thug’s plea deal that prohibits him from possessing weapons moving forward.
