Boston Marathon bomber accused of failing to pay thousands to victims

Prosecutors allege Dzhokhar Tsarnaev spent money on family instead of making court-ordered payments to victims of attack

Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the convicted Boston Marathon bomber, spent $2,000 on expenses such as gifts, books and support for his siblings instead of making payments he owes to his scores of victims, prosecutors charged in a court filing on Wednesday.

The document listed a number of large deposits to Tsarnaev’s inmate trust account that he failed to report to the court, allegedly violating the Mandatory Victim Restitution Act.
