The sums to be recovered by the guarantee fund are increased by a penalty, by way of management costs, equal to a percentage of the damages and the sums awarded in application of articles 375 or 475-1 of the code of criminal procedure. This percentage is set by order of the Insurance Minister.
When the perpetrator of the offence has been required to compensate the victim as part of a sanction-reparation sentence, a probationary suspended sentence or a decision to adapt the sentence or release on parole, the portion of the sum recovered under the supervision of the public prosecutor or the sentence enforcement judge and in compliance with the conditions set by the latter or his or her delegate will not be subject to any penalty in respect of administration costs.
The fund also recovers any enforcement costs incurred.
