Sec. 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.
