U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin's office collected more than $11 million over the past year in civil and criminal cases.
Some of the $11 million was also collected in asset forfeiture, according to a news release Monday from Goodwin's office. The amount is more than twice the amount of the office's budget.
About $3 million was collected in criminal actions and about $1 million in civil actions, the release states.
In all, the Justice Department collected more than $23 billion in civil and criminal actions, according to the release.
"The $11 million collected by this office represents more than twice the direct operating budget for my office for the year," Goodwin said in the release. "These collections are made possible through the strong collaboration of my civil and criminal divisions, the attorneys and staff, and federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Together, we remain focused on community safety, and we will continue working as partners to hold criminals financially accountable for their dishonest gains."
The release points to the case Goodwin's office prosecuted against Trivillian's Pharmacy, in which is recovered $1.1 million on behalf of Medicare and West Virginia Medicaid.
In another case involving a pharmacy, Kofi Agyekum, who owned A+ Care in Barboursville, forfeited $2.3 million and a Lexus when he was sentenced in August for violating federal banking laws.
