Sec. 4115. Execution of sentences imposing an obligation to make

    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.
