General provisions. The value of anything transferred or received in breach of the ethical standards of this article or regulations promulgated hereunder by an employee or a nonemployee may be recovered from both the employee and nonemployee.

Recovery of kickbacks by the unified government. Upon a showing that a subcontractor made a kickback to a prime contractor or a higher tier subcontractor in connection with the award of a subcontract or order thereunder, it shall be conclusively presumed that the amount thereof was included in the price of the subcontract or order and ultimately borne by the unified government and will be recoverable hereunder from the recipient.
