    ``(a) Protective Orders To Preserve Assets.--

    ``(1) IN GENERAL.--Upon the Government's ex parte application and a finding of probable cause to believe that a defendant, if convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order of restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, the court--
    ``(A) shall--
    ``(i) enter a restraining order or injunction;
    ``(ii) require the execution of a satisfactory performance bond; or
    ``(iii) take any other action necessary to preserve the availability of any property traceable to the commission of the offense charged; and
    ``(B) if it determines that it is in the interests of justice to do so, shall issue any order necessary to preserve any nonexempt asset (as defined in section 3613) of the defendant that may be used to satisfy such restitution order.
    ``(2) PROCEDURES.--Applications and orders issued under paragraph (1) shall be governed by the procedures under section 413(e) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(e)) and in this section.
    ``(3) MONETARY INSTRUMENTS.--If the property in question is a monetary instrument (as defined in section 1956(c)(5)) or funds in electronic form, the protective order issued under paragraph (1) may take the form of a warrant authorizing the Government to seize the property and to deposit it into an interest-bearing account in the Registry of the Court in the district in which the warrant was issued, or into another such account maintained by a substitute property custodian, as the court
    may direct.
    ``(4) POST-INDICTMENT.--A post-indictment protective order entered under paragraph (1) shall remain in effect through the conclusion of the criminal case, including sentencing and any post-sentencing proceedings, until seizure or other disposition of the subject property, unless modified by the court upon a motion by the Government or under subsection (b) or (c).
    ``(b) Defendant'
    s Right to a Hearing.--

    ``(1) IN GENERAL.--In the case of a preindictment protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the defendant's right to a post-restraint hearing shall be governed by paragraphs (1)(B) and (2) of section 413(e) of the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 853(e)).
    ``(2) POST-INDICTMENT.--In the case of a post-indictment protective order entered under subsection (a)(1), the defendant shall have a right to a post-restraint hearing regarding the continuation or modification of the order if the defendant--
    ``(A) establishes by a preponderance of the evidence that there are no assets, other than the restrained property, available to the defendant to retain counsel in the criminal case or to provide for a reasonable living allowance for the necessary expenses of the defendant and the defendant's lawful dependents; and
    ``(B) makes a prima facie showing that there is bona fide reason to believe that the court's ex parte finding of probable cause under subsection (a)(1) was in error.
    ``(3) HEARING.--
    ``(A) IN GENERAL.--If the court determines that the defendant has satisfied the requirements of paragraph (2), it may hold a hearing to determine whether there is probable cause to believe that the defendant, if convicted, will be ordered to satisfy an order of restitution for an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than 1 year, and that the seized or restrained property may be needed to satisfy such restitution order.
    ``(B) PROBABLE CAUSE.--If the court finds probable cause under subparagraph (A), the protective order shall remain in effect.
    ``(C) NO PROBABLE CAUSE.--If the court finds under subparagraph (A) that no probable cause exists as to some or all of the property, or determines that more property has been seized and restrained than may be needed to satisfy a restitution order, it shall modify the protective order to the extent necessary to release the property that should not have been restrained.
    ``(4) REBUTTAL.--If the court conducts an evidentiary hearing under paragraph (3), the court shall afford the Government an opportunity to present rebuttal evidence and to cross-examine any witness that the defendant may present.
    ``(5) PRETRIAL HEARING.--In any pretrial hearing on a protective order issued under subsection (a)(1), the court may not entertain challenges to the grand jury's finding of probable cause regarding the criminal offense giving rise to a potential restitution order. The court shall ensure that such hearings are not used to obtain disclosure of evidence or the identities of witnesses earlier than required by the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure or other applicable law.
    ``(c) Third Party'
    s Right to Post-Restraint Hearing.--

    ``(1) IN GENERAL.--A person other than the defendant who has a legal interest in property affected by a protective order issued under subsection (a)(1) may move to modify the order on the grounds that--
    ``(A) the order causes an immediate and irreparable hardship to the moving party; and
    ``(B) less intrusive means exist to preserve the property for the purpose of restitution.
    ``(2) MODIFICATION.--If, after considering any rebuttal evidence offered by the Government, the court determines that the moving party has made the showings required under paragraph (1), the court shall modify the order to mitigate the hardship, to the extent that it is possible to do so while preserving the asset for restitution.
    ``(3) INTERVENTION.--
    ``(A) IN GENERAL.--Except as provided in subparagraph (B) or paragraph (1), a person other than a defendant has no right to intervene in the criminal case to object to the entry of any order issued under this section or otherwise to object to an order directing a defendant to pay restitution.
    ``(B) EXCEPTION.--If, at the conclusion of the criminal case, the court orders the defendant to use particular assets to satisfy an order of restitution (including assets that have been seized or restrained pursuant to this section) the court shall give persons other than the defendant the opportunity to object to the order on the ground that the property belonged in whole or in part to the third party and not to the defendant, as provided in section 413(n) of the Controlled Substances
    Act (21 U.S.C. 853(n)).
    ``(d) Geographic Scope of Order.--
    ``(1) IN GENERAL.--A district court of the United States shall have jurisdiction to enter an order under this section without regard to the location of the property subject to the order.
    ``(2) OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.--If the property subject to an order issued under this section is located outside of the United States, the order may be transmitted to the central authority of any foreign state for service in accordance with any treaty or other international agreement.
    ``(e) No Effect on Other Government Action.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to preclude the Government from seeking the seizure, restraint, or forfeiture of assets under the asset forfeiture laws of the United States.
    ``(f) Limitation on Rights Conferred.--Nothing in this section shall be construed to create any enforceable right to have the Government seek the seizure or restraint of property for restitution.
    ``(g) Receivers.--
    ``(1) IN GENERAL.--A court issuing an order under this section may appoint a receiver under section 1956(b)(4) to collect, marshal, and take custody, control, and possession of all assets of the defendant, wherever located, that have been restrained in accordance with this section.
    ``(2) DISTRIBUTION OF PROPERTY.--The receiver shall have the power to distribute property in its control to each victim identified in an order of restitution at such time, and in such manner, as the court may authorize.''.
