第一条この法律は、組織的な犯罪の処罰及び犯罪収益の規制等に関する法律（平成十一年法律第百三十六号。以下「組織的犯罪処罰法」という。）第十三条第二項各号に掲げる罪の犯罪行為（以下「対象犯罪行為」という。）により財産的被害を受けた者に対して、没収された犯罪被害財産、追徴されたその価額に相当する財産及び外国譲与財産により被害回復給付金を支給することによって、その財産的被害の回復を図ることを目的とする。

Article 1The purpose of this Act is to allow persons recover property damage incurred by criminal acts constituting the crimes set forth in the items of Article 13, paragraph (2) of the Act on the Punishment of Organized Crime Offenses and on Controls for the Proceeds of Crime (Act No. 136 of 1999; hereinafter referred to as the "Act on the Punishment of Organized Crime Offenses") (hereinafter such a criminal act is referred to as an "applicable criminal act"), by paying compensation for criminal damage to them using confiscated stolen and misappropriated property, property equivalent to the forcibly-collected value of stolen and misappropriated property, and property transferred from abroad.

第二条この法律において、次の各号に掲げる用語の意義は、それぞれ当該各号に定めるところによる。

Article 2In this Act, the meanings of the terms set forth in the following items are as prescribed in those items:

第三条国は、この法律の定めるところにより、支給対象犯罪行為により害を被った者（法人でない団体で代表者又は管理人の定めのあるものを含む。）であってこれにより財産を失ったものに対し、被害回復給付金を支給する。

Article 3(1)The national government pays compensation for criminal damage to persons (including organizations without legal personality for which a representative or administrator has been designated) who have sustained damages due to criminal acts warranting compensation that have lost property due to those acts.

２国は、前項に規定する者（以下「対象被害者」という。）について、相続その他の一般承継があったときは、この法律の定めるところにより、その相続人その他の一般承継人に対し、被害回復給付金を支給する。

(2)If a person as prescribed in the preceding paragraph (hereinafter referred to as an "eligible victim") becomes subject to a general succession, including inheritance, the national government is to pay compensation for criminal damage to the general successor or other heir pursuant to the provisions of this Act.

第四条前条の規定にかかわらず、次の各号のいずれかに該当する者は、被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができない。

Article 4Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding Article, a person falling under one of the following items may not receive payment of compensation for criminal damage:

第五条検察官は、犯罪被害財産の没収又はその価額の追徴の裁判が確定したときは、支給対象犯罪行為の範囲を定めなければならない。

Article 5(1)Once a judicial decision to confiscate stolen or misappropriated property or to forcibly collect monies of an equivalent value becomes final and binding, the public prosecutor must define the range of criminal acts warranting compensation.

２前項に規定する支給対象犯罪行為の範囲は、次に掲げる対象犯罪行為について、その罪の種類、時期及び態様、これを実行した者、犯罪被害財産の形成の経緯その他の事情を考慮して定めるものとする。

(2)For the following applicable criminal acts, the public prosecutor is to define the range of criminal acts warranting compensation provided for in the preceding paragraph in consideration of circumstances such as the type of crime, when and how it was committed, who committed it, and how the stolen or misappropriated property was formed:

３検察官は、前二項の規定により支給対象犯罪行為の範囲を二以上に区分して定めたときは、その範囲ごとに、第一項に規定する没収の裁判で示された犯罪被害財産（一の犯罪被害財産が異なる支給対象犯罪行為の範囲に属する対象犯罪行為によりその被害を受けた者から得た財産又は当該財産の保有若しくは処分に基づき得た財産から形成されたものであって額又は数量により区分することができないものである場合においては、当該犯罪被害財産の換価又は取立てにより得られる金銭の価額）又は同項に規定する追徴の裁判で示された犯罪被害財産の価額を区分するものとする。

(3)Having divided criminal acts warranting compensation into two or more ranges pursuant to the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs, the public prosecutor is to divide the stolen or misappropriated property that has been indicated in the judicial decision for confiscation prescribed in paragraph (1) (or the amount of money obtained through the conversion or collection of that stolen or misappropriated property, if one group of stolen or misappropriated property has been derived from property gained from parties that incurred damage due to applicable criminal acts that are part of differing categories of criminal acts warranting compensation, or property obtained based on the possession or disposition of that property, and that group of property cannot be divided into separate monetary amounts or quantities) or the monetary value of the stolen or misappropriated property that has been indicated in the judicial decision for forcible collection prescribed in that paragraph into groups corresponding to each of those ranges.

第六条検察官は、前条第一項に規定する裁判で示された犯罪被害財産又はその価額について、これを給付資金として保管するに至ったときは、遅滞なく、当該給付資金から被害回復給付金を支給するための手続（以下「犯罪被害財産支給手続」という。）を開始する旨の決定をするものとする。ただし、その時点における給付資金をもっては犯罪被害財産支給手続に要する費用等を支弁するのに不足すると認めるとき、その他その時点においては犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始することが相当でないと認めるときは、この限りでない。

Article 6(1)After coming into custody of the stolen or misappropriated property or the monetary value thereof as indicated in a judicial decision as provided in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, the public prosecutor is to without delay to decide to initiate procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage out of the compensatory funds (hereinafter referred to as "procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage");provided, however, that this does not apply if the public prosecutor finds that the compensatory funds existing at that time are insufficient to pay for the expenses and remuneration that the procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage would necessitate, or if the public prosecutor otherwise finds that it is inappropriate to initiate procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage at that time.

２検察官は、外国から前条第一項に規定する裁判の執行として没収された財産若しくはその換価若しくは取立てにより得られた金銭又は当該裁判の執行として追徴された価額に相当する金銭の譲与を受けるため特に必要があると認めるときは、前項本文の規定にかかわらず、これを給付資金として保管する前に、犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始する旨の決定をすることができる。

(2)Notwithstanding the main clause of the preceding paragraph, upon finding it to be particularly necessary to do so in order to have the property that has been confiscated in execution of a judicial decision as prescribed in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article, monies obtained through its conversion or collection, or monies equivalent to the amount that has been forcibly collected in execution of such a judicial decision transferred from a foreign country, the public prosecutor may decide to initiate procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage before coming into custody of the relevant property or monies as compensatory funds.

３前二項の決定は、前条第三項に規定する場合にあっては、支給対象犯罪行為の範囲ごとにするものとする。

(3)In cases as provided in paragraph (3) of the preceding Article, the public prosecutor is to reach a decision as referred to in one of the two preceding paragraphs for each of the ranges of criminal acts warranting compensation.

４検察官は、確定した二以上の犯罪被害財産の没収又はその価額の追徴の裁判について前条第一項の規定により定められた支給対象犯罪行為の範囲が同一であるときは、これらの裁判で示された犯罪被害財産又はその価額（既に犯罪被害財産支給手続が開始されているものを除く。）を同一の裁判で示された犯罪被害財産又はその価額とみなして、第一項又は第二項の決定をすることができる。

(4)If the range of criminal acts warranting compensation that has been established pursuant to paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is the same for two or more final and binding judicial decisions to confiscate stolen or misappropriated property or to forcibly collect monies of an equivalent value, the public prosecutor may deem the stolen or misappropriated property or equivalent value indicated in those judicial decisions (other than the property or equivalent value of property for which procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage have already been initiated) to be the stolen or misappropriated property or equivalent value indicated in a single judicial decision in order to reach a decision as referred to in paragraph (1) or paragraph (2).

第七条検察官は、犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始する旨の決定をしたときは、直ちに、次に掲げる事項（前条第二項の規定により犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始した場合にあっては、第四号に掲げる事項を除く。）を官報に掲載して公告しなければならない。

Article 7(1)On deciding to initiate procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage, the public prosecutor must immediately issue public notice of the following information (other than the information set forth in item (iv), if procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage have been initiated pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article) by publishing that information in the Official Gazette:

２前項第五号に掲げる支給申請期間は、同項の規定による公告があった日の翌日から起算して三十日以上でなければならない。

(2)The period for applying for payment of compensation set forth in item (v) of the preceding paragraph must be at least 30 days, counting from the day following the date that the public notice under the provisions of that paragraph is issued.

３検察官は、対象被害者又はその一般承継人であって知れているものに対し、第一項の規定により公告すべき事項を通知しなければならない。ただし、被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができない者であることが明らかである者については、この限りでない。

(3)The public prosecutor must notify any known eligible victim or their general successor of the information required to be given in a public notice pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1);provided, however, that this does not apply to a person that is clearly not entitled to payment of compensation for criminal damage.

４前三項に規定するもののほか、第一項の規定による公告及び前項の規定による通知に関し必要な事項は、法務省令で定める。

(4)Beyond what is provided for in the preceding three paragraphs, Order of the Ministry of Justice prescribes the necessary particulars concerning public notices under the provisions of paragraph (1) and notifications under the provisions of the preceding paragraph.

第八条検察官は、犯罪被害財産支給手続に要する費用等を支弁するのに足りる給付資金を保管することとなる見込みがないと認めるときは、犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始しない旨の決定をするものとする。

Article 8(1)Upon finding there to be no prospect of coming into custody of sufficient compensatory funds to pay the expenses and remuneration that procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage would necessitate, the public prosecutor is to decide not to initiate procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage.

２検察官は、前項の決定をしたときは、法務省令で定めるところにより、その旨を公告しなければならない。

(2)Having reached a decision as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the public prosecutor must issue public notice of this pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Justice.

第九条被害回復給付金の支給を受けようとする者は、支給申請期間内に、法務省令で定めるところにより、次に掲げる事項を記載した申請書に第一号及び第二号に掲げる事項を疎明するに足りる資料を添付して、検察官に申請をしなければならない。

Article 9(1)A person seeking payment of compensation for criminal damage must file an application with the public prosecutor pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Justice within the period for applying for the payment of compensation, attaching materials sufficient to make a prima facie showing of the information set forth in items (i) and (ii) to a written application that gives the following information:

２前項の規定による申請をした対象被害者について、当該申請に対する次条又は第十一条の規定による裁定が確定するまでの間に一般承継があったときは、当該対象被害者の一般承継人は、支給申請期間が経過した後であっても、当該一般承継があった日から六十日以内に限り、被害回復給付金の支給の申請をすることができる。この場合において、当該一般承継人は、法務省令で定めるところにより、同項に規定する申請書に同項第一号及び第二号に掲げる事項を疎明するに足りる資料を添付して、これを検察官に提出しなければならない。

(2)If an eligible victim that has filed an application under the provisions of the preceding paragraph becomes subject to a general succession before a ruling as under the following Article or Article 11 is finalized in connection with that application, the general successor of the eligible victim may file an application for payment of compensation for criminal damage even after the period for applying for the payment of compensation has passed, but only within the 60 days after the date of the general succession.In this case, the general successor must attach materials sufficient to make a prima facie showing of the information set forth in items (i) and (ii) of the preceding paragraph to a written application as prescribed in that paragraph, and submit these to the public prosecutor pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Justice.

３前二項の規定による申請その他この法律に基づく手続を代理人によりしようとする者は、法定代理人により手続をしようとする場合を除き、弁護士（弁護士法人及び弁護士・外国法事務弁護士共同法人を含む。）を代理人としなければならない。

(3)Except when undertaking a process through a statutory agent, a person seeking to act through an agent in applying for compensation as under the preceding two paragraphs or in undertaking any other process under this Act must use an attorney-at-law (including a legal professional corporation and attorney-at-law/registered foreign lawyer joint corporation) as that agent.

第十条検察官は、前条第一項の規定による申請があった場合において、支給申請期間が経過したとき（その時点において、第五条第一項の規定による支給対象犯罪行為の範囲を定める処分が確定していないときは、当該処分が確定したとき）は、遅滞なく、その申請人が被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができる者に該当するか否かの裁定をしなければならない。前条第二項の規定による申請があった場合において、当該申請に係る一般承継があった日から六十日が経過したとき（その時点において、第五条第一項の規定による支給対象犯罪行為の範囲を定める処分が確定していないときは、当該処分が確定したとき）も、同様とする。

Article 10(1)If an application under paragraph (1) of the preceding Article has been filed, once the period for applying for the payment of compensation has passed (or once the ruling establishing the range of the criminal acts warranting compensation under Article 5, paragraph (1) has been finalized, if it has not been finalized by that time), the public prosecutor must reach a ruling as to whether the applicant is a person entitled to be paid compensation for criminal damage without delay. If an application as under paragraph (2) of the preceding Article has been filed, the same applies once 60 days have passed after the day of the general succession connected with that application (or once the ruling establishing the range of the criminal acts warranting compensation under Article 5, paragraph (1) has been finalized, if it has not been finalized by that time).

２検察官は、被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができる者に該当する旨の裁定（以下「資格裁定」という。）をするに当たっては、その犯罪被害額（支給対象犯罪行為により失われた財産の価額から控除対象額を控除して検察官が定める額をいう。以下同じ。）を定めなければならない。この場合において、資格裁定を受ける者で次の各号に掲げる者に該当するものが二人以上ある場合におけるその者に係る犯罪被害額は、当該各号に定める額とする。

(2)In reaching a ruling that an applicant is entitled to be paid compensation for criminal damage (hereinafter referred to as a "ruling of eligibility"), the public prosecutor must set the amount of criminal damage (meaning the amount that the public prosecutor sets by deducting the amount subject to exclusion from the value of the property lost through the criminal act warranting compensation; the same applies hereinafter). In this case, if two or more persons falling under a category of persons set forth in one of the following items are subject to a ruling of eligibility, the amount of criminal damage for each person is the amount specified in that item:

３前項後段に規定する場合において、当該資格裁定を受ける者のうちに各人が支給を受けるべき被害回復給付金の額の割合について合意をした者があるときは、同項後段の規定にかかわらず、当該合意をした者に係る犯罪被害額は、同項後段の規定により算出された額のうちこれらの者に係るものを合算した額に当該合意において定められた各人が支給を受けるべき被害回復給付金の額の割合を乗じて得た額とする。

(3)Notwithstanding the second sentence of the preceding paragraph, in a case as prescribed in that sentence, if some of the persons subject to a ruling of eligibility have agreed as to what percent of the amount of the compensation for criminal damage each person is to be paid, the amount of criminal damage to be paid to the persons that have agreed to this is the amount arrived at when the parts of the amount calculated pursuant to that sentence which would be paid to each of those persons are added together and the total is multiplied by the percentages of the compensation for criminal damage that each person named in the agreement is to be paid.

第十一条検察官は、被害回復給付金の支給の申請が支給申請期間（第九条第二項の規定による申請にあっては、一般承継があった日から六十日）が経過した後にされたものであるとき、その他不適法であって補正することができないものであるときは、その申請を却下する旨の裁定をしなければならない。

Article 11(1)The public prosecutor must reach a ruling to dismiss an application for payment of compensation for criminal damage without prejudice if the application is filed after the period for applying for payment of compensation has passed (or after 60 days have passed since the day of the general succession, for an application as under Article 9, paragraph (2)), or if the application is otherwise unlawful and cannot be corrected.

２検察官は、申請人が、第二十八条第一項の規定による報告、文書その他の物件の提出又は出頭を命ぜられた場合において、正当な理由がなくてこれに応じないときは、その申請を却下する旨の裁定をすることができる。

(2)The public prosecutor must reach a ruling to dismiss an application without prejudice if the applicant fails to comply when ordered to submit a report, document, or any other object under Article 28, paragraph (1) or to appear as under that paragraph, without a legitimate reason for failing to do so.

第十二条前二条の規定による裁定は、書面をもって行い、かつ、理由を付し、当該裁定をした検察官がこれに記名押印をしなければならない。

Article 12(1)The public prosecutor issuing a ruling under the preceding two Articles must do so in writing, attach the reason for the ruling to the written document, and affix their name and seal.

２検察官は、裁定書の謄本を申請人に送達しなければならない。

(2)The public prosecutor must serve a certified copy of written rulings to applicants.

３前項の規定にかかわらず、送達を受けるべき者の所在が知れないとき、その他裁定書の謄本を送達することができないときは、検察官が裁定書の謄本を保管し、いつでもその送達を受けるべき者に交付すべき旨を当該検察官が所属する検察庁の掲示場に掲示することをもって同項の規定による送達に代えることができる。この場合においては、掲示を始めた日から二週間を経過した時に同項の規定による送達があったものとみなす。

(3)Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph, if the whereabouts of the person who is to be served with a certified copy of a written ruling is unknown or it is otherwise not possible to serve a certified copy of a written ruling to that person, the public prosecutor may retain a certified copy of the written ruling and, in lieu of serving it as under that paragraph, post a notice in the space for posting of notices by the public prosecutors office to which the public prosecutor is assigned, indicating that the public prosecutor will issue a certified copy of the written ruling to the person to whom it is to be served at any time.In this case, the certified copy of the written ruling is deemed to be served as under that paragraph once two weeks have passed after the date that the notice is first posted.

第十三条検察官は、第十条又は第十一条の規定による裁定をしたときは、次に掲げる事項を記載した裁定表を作成し、申請人の閲覧に供するため、これを当該検察官が所属する検察庁に備え置かなければならない。

Article 13Having reached a ruling under Article 10 or Article 11, the public prosecutor must prepare a breakdown of the ruling giving the following information and keep it at the public prosecutors office to which the public prosecutor is assigned in order to provide it for the applicant's inspection:

第十四条検察官は、すべての申請に対する第十条又は第十一条の規定による裁定、第二十六条第一項の規定による被害回復事務管理人の報酬の決定及び犯罪被害財産支給手続に要する費用の額が確定したとき（第六条第二項の規定により犯罪被害財産支給手続を開始した場合であって、当該確定の時点において、同条第一項に規定する犯罪被害財産又はその価額についてこれを給付資金として保管するに至っていないときは、当該給付資金を保管するに至ったとき）は、遅滞なく、資格裁定を受けた者に対し、被害回復給付金の支給をしなければならない。

Article 14(1)The public prosecutor must pay compensation for criminal damage to persons subject to a ruling of eligibility without delay once a ruling under the provisions of Article 10 or Article 11, a decision on the remuneration of the compensation administrator under the provisions of Article 26, paragraph (1), and the amount of expenses that procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage require are finalized for all applications (or once the public prosecutor comes into custody of the stolen or misappropriated property or its value as prescribed in paragraph (1) of that Article as compensatory funds, if procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage have been initiated pursuant to Article 6, paragraph (2), but at the time that the aforementioned ruling, decision, and expenses are finalized, the public prosecutor has not yet come into custody of the stolen or misappropriated property or its value as compensatory funds).

２前項の規定により支給する被害回復給付金の額は、資格裁定により定めた犯罪被害額の総額（以下この項及び第十六条第二項において「総犯罪被害額」という。）が、給付資金の額から犯罪被害財産支給手続に要する費用等の額を控除した額を超えるときは、この額に当該資格裁定を受けた者に係る犯罪被害額の総犯罪被害額に対する割合を乗じて得た額（その額に一円未満の端数があるときは、これを切り捨てた額）とし、その他のときは、当該犯罪被害額とする。

(2)If the aggregate total of the amounts of criminal damage set as part of a ruling of eligibility (referred to as the "total amount of criminal damage" hereinafter in this paragraph and in Article 16, paragraph (2)) exceeds the amount arrived at when the amount of expenses and remuneration that procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage will necessitate is deducted from compensatory funds, the amounts of compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the preceding paragraph are the amounts arrived at when the difference resulting from that calculation is multiplied by the percentages of the total amount of criminal damage which represent the amounts of criminal damage set for the persons subject to that ruling of eligibility (with the products rounded down to the nearest one yen); and in other cases, the amounts of compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the preceding paragraph are the amounts of criminal damage.

３検察官は、第一項の規定により支給する被害回復給付金の額を裁定表に記載し、法務省令で定めるところにより、その旨を公告しなければならない。

(3)The public prosecutor must enter the amounts of compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) in the ruling breakdown, and must issue public notice of this pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Justice.

４検察官は、第一項の規定にかかわらず、被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができる者の所在が知れないことその他の事由により当該被害回復給付金の支給をすることができないときは、第三十一条第一項に規定する期間が経過するまでの間、当該被害回復給付金に相当する金銭を保管するものとする。この場合において、当該保管に係る金銭は、第二十六条第一項及び第三十四条の規定の適用については、給付資金に含まれないものとする。

(4)Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (1), if it is not possible to pay compensation for criminal damage because the whereabouts of a person entitled to be paid the compensation for criminal damage are unknown or for other reasons, the public prosecutor is to act as the custodian of monies equivalent to the compensation for criminal damage until the end of the period provided for in Article 31, paragraph (1).In this case, the monies of which the public prosecutor is the custodian are not to be included in compensatory funds regarding the application of the provisions of Article 26, paragraph (1), and Article 34.

第十五条検察官は、前条第一項に規定する裁定、報酬の決定又は費用の額の一部が確定していない場合であっても、資格裁定を受けた者（当該資格裁定が確定している者に限る。）に対し、被害回復給付金の支給を受けることができると見込まれる者の利益を害しないことが明らかであると認められる額の範囲内において相当と認める額の被害回復給付金の支給をすることができる。

Article 15(1)Even if part of a ruling, decision on remuneration, or amount of expenses provided for in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article is not finalized, the public prosecutor may pay compensation for criminal damage to a person subject to a ruling of eligibility (but only one for whom eligibility has been finalized) in an amount that the public prosecutor finds to be appropriate up to an amount that is clearly found not to harm the interests of persons that are expected to be eligible for payment of compensation for criminal damage.

２検察官は、前項の規定により被害回復給付金を支給した場合において、前条第一項に規定する裁定、報酬の決定及び費用の額のすべてが確定したときは、遅滞なく、資格裁定を受けた者に対し、同条第二項の規定により算出される支給すべき被害回復給付金の額から前項の規定により支給された被害回復給付金の額を控除した額の被害回復給付金の支給をしなければならない。

(2)If compensation for criminal damage has been paid pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, once the ruling, decision on remuneration, and amount of expenses provided for in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article have all been finalized, the public prosecutor must pay compensation for criminal damage without delay to the persons subject to the ruling of eligibility, in the amounts arrived at when the amounts of the compensation for criminal damage that have been paid pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph are deducted from the amounts of compensation for criminal damage that must be paid as calculated pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (2) of the preceding Article.

３前条第三項及び第四項の規定は、前項の規定により支給する被害回復給付金について準用する。この場合において、同条第三項中「額」とあるのは、「額（次条第一項の規定により支給された被害回復給付金の額を含む。）」と読み替えるものとする。

(3)The provisions of paragraphs (3) and (4) of the preceding Article apply mutatis mutandis to compensation for criminal damage paid pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph.In this case, the phrase "pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1)" in paragraph (3) of that Article is deemed to be replaced with "pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) (and the amounts of compensation for criminal damage paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1) of the following Article)".

第十六条検察官は、犯罪被害財産支給手続において、第十四条第一項に規定する裁定、報酬の決定及び費用の額が確定し、かつ、資格裁定を受けたすべての者について被害回復給付金の支給等（同項、前条第一項若しくは第二項若しくはこの項の規定による被害回復給付金の支給又は第十四条第四項前段（前条第三項及びこの条第三項において準用する場合を含む。以下この項において同じ。）の規定による被害回復給付金に相当する金銭の保管をいう。第十八条及び第二十一条第一項第一号から第三号までにおいて同じ。）をした後に、当該犯罪被害財産支給手続に係る給付資金を新たに保管するに至った場合（当該犯罪被害財産支給手続の終了後にこれを保管するに至った場合を含む。）において、既に支給した被害回復給付金（第十四条第四項前段の規定により被害回復給付金に相当する金銭が保管された場合においては、当該金銭を含む。次項において「既支給被害回復給付金」という。）の額が犯罪被害額に満たないときは、当該資格裁定を受けた者に対し、当該新たに保管するに至った給付資金から被害回復給付金の支給をしなければならない。ただし、その時点における給付資金をもってはその支給に要する費用等を支弁するのに不足すると認めるとき、その他その時点においては被害回復給付金の支給をすることが相当でないと認めるときは、この限りでない。

Article 16(1)If the public prosecutor comes into custody of new compensatory funds in connection with procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage after the ruling, decision on remuneration, and amount of expenses prescribed in Article 14, paragraph (1) have been finalized and after the public prosecutor has paid or become the custodian of compensation for criminal damage (meaning that the public prosecutor has paid compensation for criminal damage under that paragraph; paragraph (1) or paragraph (2) of the preceding Article; or this paragraph; or has become the custodian of monies equivalent to compensation for criminal damage under the first sentence of Article 14, paragraph (4) (including as applied mutatis mutandis pursuant to paragraph (3) of the preceding Article and paragraph (3) of this Article; hereinafter the same applies in this paragraph); the same applies in Article 18 and in Article 21, paragraph (1), items (i) through (iii)) for all of the persons subject to a ruling of eligibility (this includes cases when the public prosecutor comes into custody of new compensatory funds after the conclusion of the procedures to pay compensation for criminal damage), and if the amount of compensation for criminal damage that have already been paid (this includes any monies equivalent to compensation for criminal damage of which the public prosecutor has come into custody pursuant to the provisions of the first sentence of Article 14, paragraph (4); referred to as "compensation for criminal damage already paid" in the following paragraph) falls short of the amount of criminal damage, the public prosecutor must pay compensation for criminal damage to persons subject to the ruling of eligibility using the new compensatory funds of which the public prosecutor has come into custody;provided, however, that this does not apply if the public prosecutor finds that the compensatory funds existing at that time are insufficient to cover the expenses and remuneration that the payment of those payments would necessitate, or if the public prosecutor finds that it is otherwise inappropriate to pay compensation for criminal damage at that time.

２前項の規定により支給する被害回復給付金の額は、総犯罪被害残額（総犯罪被害額から既支給被害回復給付金の額の総額を控除した額をいう。以下この項において同じ。）が、前項に規定する給付資金の額から費用等の額（既支給被害回復給付金の算出において控除した費用等の額を除く。）を控除した額を超えるときは、この額に資格裁定を受けた者に係る犯罪被害残額（犯罪被害額から既支給被害回復給付金の額を控除した額をいう。以下この項において同じ。）の総犯罪被害残額に対する割合を乗じて得た額（その額に一円未満の端数があるときは、これを切り捨てた額）とし、その他のときは、犯罪被害残額とする。

(2)If the total remaining amount of criminal damage (meaning the amount arrived at when the sum total of the amounts of compensation for criminal damage already paid is deducted from the total amount of criminal damage; hereinafter the same applies in this paragraph) exceeds the amount arrived at when the amount of expenses and remuneration (other than any amount of expenses and remuneration that has been deducted in the calculation of compensation for criminal damage already issued) is deducted from the compensatory funds prescribed in the preceding paragraph, the amounts of compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph are the amounts arrived at when the difference resulting from that calculation is multiplied by the percentages of the total remaining amount of criminal damage which represent the remaining amounts of criminal damage (meaning the amounts arrived at when the amounts of compensation for criminal damage already paid are deducted from the amounts of criminal damage; hereinafter the same applies in this paragraph) owed to the persons subject to the ruling of eligibility (with the products rounded down to the nearest one yen); and in other cases, the amounts of compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph are the remaining amounts of criminal damage.

３第十四条第三項及び第四項の規定は、第一項の規定により支給する被害回復給付金について準用する。

(3)The provisions of Article 14, paragraphs (3) and (4) apply mutatis mutandis to compensation for criminal damage to be paid pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1).

第十七条検察官は、資格裁定が確定した者について一般承継があった場合において、その者に支給すべき被害回復給付金でまだ支給していないものがあるときは、その者の一般承継人であって当該一般承継があった日から六十日以内に届出をしたものに対し、未支給の被害回復給付金の支給をしなければならない。この場合において、当該一般承継人は、法務省令で定めるところにより、届出書を検察官に提出しなければならない。

Article 17(1)If a person whose ruling of eligibility has been finalized becomes subject to a general succession and any of the compensation for criminal damage to be paid to that person have not yet been paid, the public prosecutor must pay the unpaid compensation for criminal damage to a general successor of that person that files a notification within 60 days of the date of the general succession.In this case, the general successor must submit a written notification to the public prosecutor pursuant to the provisions of Order of the Ministry of Justice.

２前項の規定により届出をした一般承継人が二人以上ある場合における当該一般承継人に支給する被害回復給付金の額は、同項に規定する未支給の被害回復給付金の額を当該一般承継人の数で除して得た額（その額に一円未満の端数があるときは、これを切り捨てた額）とする。ただし、当該一般承継人のうちに各人が支給を受けるべき被害回復給付金の額の割合について合意をした者があるときは、当該合意をした者に支給する被害回復給付金の額は、この項本文の規定により算出された額のうちこれらの者に係るものを合算した額に当該合意において定められた各人が支給を受けるべき被害回復給付金の額の割合を乗じて得た額（その額に一円未満の端数があるときは、これを切り捨てた額）とする。

(2)The amount of compensation for criminal damage to be paid to a general successor in the event that there are two or more general successors filing notifications pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, is the amount arrived at when the amount of the unpaid compensation for criminal damage prescribed in that paragraph is divided by the number of general successors (rounded down to the nearest one yen);provided, however, that if some of the general successors have agreed as to what percent of the amount of compensation for criminal damage each person is to be paid, the amount of compensation for criminal damage to be paid to the persons that have agreed to this is the amount arrived at when the parts of the amount calculated pursuant to the main clause of this paragraph that would be paid to each of those persons are added together and the total is multiplied by the percentages of the compensation for criminal damage that each person named in the agreement is to be paid (with the products rounded down to the nearest one yen).

第十八条検察官は、前三款の規定による手続において、次の各号のいずれかに該当するときは、遅滞なく、当該手続における支給申請期間（第九条第二項の規定による申請にあっては、一般承継があった日から六十日）内に被害回復給付金の支給の申請をしなかった者又は前条第一項に規定する一般承継人で同項の届出をしなかったものに対して残余給付資金（被害回復給付金の支給等に係る手続が終了した後の残余の給付資金をいう。以下同じ。）から被害回復給付金を支給するための手続（以下「特別支給手続」という。）を開始する旨の決定をするものとする。ただし、その時点において見込まれる残余給付資金をもっては特別支給手続に要する費用等を支弁するのに不足すると認めるとき、その他その時点においては特別支給手続を開始することが相当でないと認めるときは、この限りでない。

Article 18In a situation falling under one of the following items regarding procedures under the preceding three subsections, the public prosecutor is to decide without delay to initiate procedures for using the surplus compensatory funds (meaning compensatory funds that are in surplus after the conclusion of procedures during which the public prosecutor has paid or become the custodian of compensation for criminal damage; the same applies hereinafter) to pay compensation for criminal damage to persons that have not filed an application for payment of compensation for criminal damage within the period for applying for payment of compensation in those procedures (or within 60 days after the day of the general succession, for an application as under Article 9, paragraph (2)), or to general successors as prescribed in paragraph (1) of the preceding Article that have not filed notifications as referred to in that paragraph (hereinafter procedures for using surplus compensatory funds in this way are referred to as "special payment procedures");provided, however, that this does not apply if the public prosecutor finds that the surplus compensatory funds expected at that time would be insufficient to pay for the expenses and remuneration that the special issuance procedures would necessitate, or if the public prosecutor otherwise finds it to be inappropriate to initiate special payment procedures at that time:

第十九条検察官は、特別支給手続を開始する旨の決定をしたときは、直ちに、法務省令で定めるところにより、前三款の規定による手続において公告した第七条第一項第二号及び第三号に掲げる事項のほか、次に掲げる事項を官報に掲載して公告しなければならない。

２検察官は、外国から外国犯罪被害財産等又はその換価若しくは取立てにより得られた金銭の譲与を受けるため特に必要があると認めるときは、前項本文の規定にかかわらず、これを給付資金として保管する前に、外国譲与財産支給手続を開始する旨の決定をすることができる。

(2)Notwithstanding the main clause of the preceding paragraph, upon finding that it is particularly necessary to do so in order to have the stolen or misappropriated property or the monetary equivalent subject to foreign laws or monies obtained through its conversion or collection transferred from a foreign country, the public prosecutor may decide to initiate procedures to pay compensation using property transferred from abroad before coming into custody of the relevant property or monies as compensatory funds.

(4)If the range of a criminal act warranting compensation that has been established pursuant to Article 35, paragraph (1) is the same for two or more groups of property transferred from abroad, the public prosecutor may deem that property (other than property transferred from abroad for which procedures to pay compensation using property transferred from abroad have already been initiated) to belong to a single group of property transferred from abroad in order to reach a decision as referred to in paragraph (1) or paragraph (2).

５検察官は、外国譲与財産について第三十五条第一項の規定により定められた支給対象犯罪行為の範囲と犯罪被害財産の没収又はその価額の追徴の裁判について第五条第一項の規定により定められた支給対象犯罪行為の範囲とが同一であるときは、これらの外国譲与財産（既に外国譲与財産支給手続が開始されているものを除く。）及び犯罪被害財産又はその価額（既に犯罪被害財産支給手続が開始されているものを除く。）を同一の外国譲与財産とみなして、第一項又は第二項の決定をすることができる。

(5)If the range of criminal acts warranting compensation that has been established pursuant to Article 35, paragraph (1) for property transferred from abroad is the same as the range of criminal acts warranting compensation established pursuant to the provisions of Article 5, paragraph (1) in connection with a judicial decision to confiscate stolen or misappropriated property or to forcibly collect monies of an equivalent value, the public prosecutor may deem the property transferred from abroad (other than property for which procedures to pay compensation using property transferred from abroad have already been initiated) and the stolen or misappropriated property or its value (other than any property or monies for which procedures to pay compensation using property have already been initiated) to belong to a single group of property transferred from abroad in order to reach a decision as referred to in paragraph (1) or paragraph (2).

第三十八条検察官は、外国譲与財産支給手続に要する費用等を支弁するのに足りる給付資金を保管することとなる見込みがないと認めるときは、外国譲与財産支給手続を開始しない旨の決定をするものとする。

Article 38(1)Upon finding there to be no prospect of coming into custody of sufficient compensatory funds to pay for the expenses and remuneration that procedures to pay compensation using property transferred from abroad would necessitate, the public prosecutor is to decide not to initiate procedures to pay compensation using property transferred from abroad.

２検察官は、前項の決定をしたときは、法務省令で定めるところにより、その旨を公告しなければならない。
