U.S. Attorney’s Office Collects Over $10 Million in Fiscal Year 2025

Charlottesville, Va. – Acting United States Attorney Robert N. Tracci announced today that the Western District of Virginia collected $10,621,656.97 in criminal and civil actions in Fiscal Year 2025. Of this amount, $9,151,869.51 was collected in criminal actions and $1,469,787.46 was collected in civil actions.

Additionally, the Western District of Virginia worked with other U.S. Attorney’s Offices and components of the Department of Justice to collect an additional $60,245,937.67 in cases pursued jointly by these offices. Of this amount, $10,076.28 was collected in criminal actions and $60,235,861.39 was collected in civil actions.

“The men and women of the United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Virginia work tirelessly to ensure taxpayer dollars are used properly and that the American people are protected from fraud and abuse,” Acting United States Attorney Tracci said today. “Today’s announcement is a testament to the work of those involvement in the collection of criminal and civil penalties as well as the forfeiture of property obtained through criminal activity. The people of the Western District of Virginia should be proud of the work these civil servants perform on their behalf each and every day.”

The U.S. Attorneys’ Offices, along with the department’s litigating divisions, are responsible for enforcing and collecting civil and criminal debts owed to the U.S. and criminal debts owed to federal crime victims. The law requires defendants to pay restitution to victims of certain federal crimes who have suffered a physical injury or financial loss.

Additionally, the Western District of Virginia utilized a Federal Debt Collection Procedures Act writ to seize over $1.1 million from a criminal defendant to pay criminal restitution. These collection numbers demonstrate the district’s strategic use of all debt collection tools available under the law to ensure that criminal defendants are held responsible for repaying the victims of their crime and that civil debtors are held accountable for their debts to the government.

These collection amounts include $5 million in criminal fines from the prosecution of Envigo RMS, LLC and Envigo Global Services, Inc., a dog breeding facility that conspired to violate the Animal Welfare Act and Clean Water Act.

Separately, the Western District of Virginia forfeited $72.2 million to the United States related to its criminal and civil prosecutions. This amount includes $24,878,594.89 from Indivior, and $46,773,249.50 from McKinsey & Co.

Additionally, $200,000 was collected from the conviction of Duane Dixon, a former doctor, who concealed health care fraud and prescribed highly addictive opioid painkillers to at-risk patients at pain clinics in Central and Southwest Virginia. Forfeited funds also include tens of thousands of dollars seized from individuals who acted as money mules for foreign criminals employing various fraud schemes against victims in the United States.

The Western District of Virginia strategically used both civil and criminal judicial forfeiture to help victims and hold criminals accountable. As a result, significant portions of the funds forfeited to the United States in FY25 were returned to victims of crime.
