[Star Trek] What is the Federation's policy on people that were genetically upgraded against their will?

I know the Eugenics Wars made the Federation strongly opposed to genetic manipulation (apparently to the point where they're willing to allow death itself to keep existing even though they could probably cure aging anytime they wanted to).

So what do they do if they encounter someone that had been forcibly manipulated despite not wanting it? And what if those manipulations were highly beneficial? Would they execute the poor sucker or banish him from Federation space?

Mild spoilers for Star Trek: Deep Space Nine below...

>![Doctor Bashir was modified in childhood due to significant disabilities, and when the information slips out is genuinely scared that his career in Starfleet is over. In the end, his father confessed in full to having his son illegally modified, and is sent to prison, and Bashir is able to retain his post and commission.]!<

So, presuming A) the target of the modification is unwilling or unable to consent and B) the culprit can be positively identified, someone could be subjected to genetic modification and still have a life. That said, the victim would likely be watched like a hawk; Khan and his boys have permanently etched "superior ability leads to superior ambition" into the human psyche, and many would fear that the victim might go full super-tyrant if the conditions are right.
