Prosecutors have filed a motion seeking funds from Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's inmate trust account, including a $1,400 COVID-19 relief payment he received in 2021.
Acting U.S. Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Nathaniel Mendell filed a motion on Wednesday asking for funds from Tsarnaev's account to be taken and used as restitution to his victims, according to Boston Fox affiliate WFXT. The motion indicated that Tsarnaev had an account balance of $3,885.06 as of Dec. 22, 2021, including a $1,400 COVID-19 stimulus payment deposited to the account in June.
Prisoners were largely eligible to receive $1,400 payments included in the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan that President Joe Biden signed into law last March. Republicans unsuccessfully rallied against allowing inmates to receive the checks at the time, although prisoners were also not excluded from stimulus checks included in the GOP-backed Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act that former President Donald Trump had signed the previous year.
Prosecutors said that money in Tsarnaev's account should be used "as payment towards his outstanding criminal monetary penalties, including unpaid special assessment and restitution." Tsarnaev was ordered to pay more than $101 million in restitution to victims, as well as a special assessment of $3,000, in 2016. He has paid $2,202.03 so far - all of which has gone toward the special assessment. The filing asked the court to order the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to turn over the rest of the funds.

......he and his scumbag brother were on public assistance and used taxpayer money to build the bombs used in their cowardly attack.......
THE ENTIRE Tsarnaev family swilled at the public trough....to the tune of some $200,000....that we know of..
Taxpayers even footed Travel bills to fly them here from Bulcrapnia to attend the trial.
I’m more surprised that criminals didn’t get MORE than anyone else given the fact that the Media-Dem Party has elevated criminals to the role of heroes.
Yep....about 435 of them...
CIA assets thru Uncle Rulan.
The feds spent more than $1400 just thinking about this.
Probably cost $100K to get it back.
