The U.S. Attorney's Office in Nevada says it collected almost $11 million this fiscal year in fines and penalties. U.S. Attorney Daniel Bogden says the collections included nearly $5 million from criminal cases, $1 million from civil cases and $5 million in private property forfeited to the government. Bodgen says the $11 million is well above the amount the government pays to run the Nevada office each year. Fines collected go to the Crime Victims' Fund, which offers compensation and assistance to victims.
