A financial payment ordered in the transferring country’s criminal sentence for a victim’s offense-related damage may be enforced in the United States like a federal civil judgment. Recovered money is sent through diplomatic channels for the victim.
If a transferring country’s criminal sentence orders an offender transferred to the United States to pay the victim money for offense-related damage, the payment or damages award may be enforced as if it were a civil judgment of a United States district court. The Attorney General may begin collection proceedings in any United States district court. Recovered money must be sent through diplomatic channels to the transferring country’s treaty authority for distribution to the victim.
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.
