§ 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.
