TITLE 18—CRIMES AND CRIMINAL PROCEDURE
§ 218
court against any person who engages in con-
duct constituting an offense under section 203,
204, 205, 207, 208, or 209 of this title and, upon
proof of such conduct by a preponderance of the
evidence, such person shall be subject to a civil
penalty of not more than $50,000 for each viola-
tion or the amount of compensation which the
person received or offered for the prohibited con-
duct, whichever amount is greater. The imposi-
tion of a civil penalty under this subsection does
not preclude any other criminal or civil statu-
tory, common law, or administrative remedy,
which is available by law to the United States or
any other person.
(c) If the Attorney General has reason to be-
lieve that a person is engaging in conduct con-
stituting an offense under section 203, 204, 205,
207, 208, or 209 of this title, the Attorney General
may petition an appropriate United States dis-
trict court for an order prohibiting that person
from engaging in such conduct. The court may
issue an order prohibiting that person from en-
gaging in such conduct if the court finds that
the conduct constitutes such an offense. The fil-
ing of a petition under this section does not pre-
clude any other remedy which is available by
law to the United States or any other person.
