Federal prosecutors want convicted Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev to use a $1,400 COVID-19 stimulus payment he received as well as other money held in his inmate trust account to help pay the millions of dollars he was ordered to pay his victims.

In a filing Wednesday, the U.S. attorneys office in Boston asked a judge to order the federal Bureau of Prisons to turn the money over to the Clerk of the Court as payment towards his outstanding criminal monetary penalties, including unpaid special assessment and restitution.

In addition to the stimulus payment, Tsarnaev, whos being held at a maximum security prison in Florence, Colorado, has received money from dozens of sources during his incarceration, including the federal public defenders office and regular payments from individuals living in Indiana, New Jersey and Maryland, according to the filing by acting U.S. Attorney for Massachusetts, Nathaniel Mendell.
