“To date, Defendant has not paid any portion of the fines imposed by the Court and still owes the entire $140,900.00,” the motion continues. “The Government now seeks entry of an order authorizing the BOP to turn over the restrained funds for application to the Defendant’s outstanding criminal penalties.”
Most of money has been seized by the Bureau of Prisons, who left R. Kelly with $500. However, Judge Ann M. Donnelly has agreed with the prosecution’s stance. The same day, she ordered R. Kelly’s prison trust to be turned over within 10 days and put “into an interest-bearing account pending the determination by the Court as to the amount and applicability of restitution.”
R. Kelly has upcoming court hearing on Sept. 28 to determine if he will have to pay more money in restitution to the victims of his crimes.
As previously reported, R. Kelly was sentenced to 30 years in prison on June 29, after being found guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking charges in New York last year. He still has open sex crimes cases in Minnesota and his home state of Chicago.
