Convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's prison funds have been seized as he has forgone paying restitution to victims of the 2013 terrorist attack
A U.S. District Court judge granted a request by federal prosecutors to claim the funds in an account held by convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
Prosecutors filed a motion to collect monies Tsarnaev owes in criminal restitution from his inmate trust fund account. They said he has received tens of thousands of dollars—including a Covid-19 relief payment—but has paid only a fraction toward court-issued fines, while spending the money in other ways.
