Description
Profits from crime. Provides that profits from crime are subject to a special order of escrow, with the profits going to the victim. If there is money remaining after a judgment in favor of the victim is paid, or if there is no judgment in favor of a victim, 25% of the defendant's legal fees paid by the Commonwealth may be reimbursed to the Commonwealth and the defendant's fines and costs may be paid. Any money remaining will be paid into the Literary Fund. Because Article VIII, Section 8 of the Virginia Constitution requires forfeited assets, other than those involved in the distribution of illegal drugs, to be deposited into the Literary Fund, under current law the money cannot be paid into the Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund.
