I think that I've finally found the word in English: poetic. See here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_justice

Also, in the movie Rain Man, when the main character discovers that
his brother just inherited 3 million dollars but doesn't understand
the concept of money, he exclaims "That's poetic"
