SECTION 420.20
Collection of fines, restitution or reparation imposed upon corporations
Criminal Procedure (CPL) CHAPTER 11-A, PART 2, TITLE L, ARTICLE 420
§ 420.20 Collection of fines, restitution or reparation imposed upon

corporations.

Where a corporation is sentenced to pay a fine, restitution or
reparation, the fine, restitution or reparation must be paid at the time
sentence is imposed. If the fine, restitution or reparation is not so
paid, it may be collected in the same manner as a judgment in a civil
action, and if execution issued upon such judgment be returned
unsatisfied an action may be brought in the name of the people of the
state of New York to procure a judgment sequestering the property of the
corporation, as provided by the business corporation law. It is the
duty of the attorney general in all criminal proceedings prosecuted by
him, and, in all other proceedings, the county attorney for counties
outside the city of New York, and, in the city of New York the
corporation counsel of the city of New York, to institute proceedings to
collect such fine, restitution or reparation.
