Caber, Wyo. – According to a release of the department in the 2024,996,578.60, the US lawyers' office collected $ 1,9960 on Friday in criminal and civil lawsuits. Of this amount, around 1,740,300 US dollars were collected in criminal measures and around 256,195 US dollars in civil law measures.

All US lawyers are responsible for the enforcement and collection of civil and criminal debts that were due to the United States, and for the reimbursement that victims of certain federal crimes that have suffered a physical injury or financial loss, the US Ministry of Justice are responsible.

While the victim is delivered a refund, criminal fines and crimes are paid to the department's crime -victim fund, which distributes the funds collected to the programs to support the federal and state victims and to support the victims.

An example from the District of Wyoming includes the defendant William Dean Decker, who was convicted of the production and possession of children's sexual abuse materials.

As part of the supervision of District Levi Martin, the US public prosecutor's office was able to recover the total of 144,902 US dollars in Decker's case within two weeks of the conviction.

“This office undertakes aggressive collective efforts for fraud against the United States and for the reimbursement of the victims of criminal matters,” said Martin in the press release. “The FLP is quite efficient to localize debtors and their assets to meet the assessment amounts that they owe due to their illegal actions.”
