§ 4115. Execution of sentences imposing an obligation to
make restitution or reparations
If in a sentence issued in a penal proceeding of a
transferring country an offender transferred to the
United States has been ordered to pay a sum of money to
the victim of the offense for damage caused by the
offense, that penalty or award of damages may be
enforced as though it were a civil judgment rendered by
a United States district court. Proceedings to collect
the moneys ordered to be paid may be instituted by the
Attorney General in any United States district court.
Moneys recovered pursuant to such proceedings shall be
transmitted through diplomatic channels to the treaty
authority of the transferring country for distribution
to the victim. |
