SDNY COURTHOUSE,
June 2 – Louis Bravo was
in the Dominican Republic,
sending emails and faxes to
steal money for false ads in
publications that never
existed.
Then he got
arrested and spent ten
harrowing days in Dominican
jails, awaiting extradition to
the
US.
On June 2,
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Gregory H. Woods held a
plea and sentencing
proceeding, in-person with no
audio feed by phone. Inner
City Press went and covered
it.
The US
Attorney's Office, noting the
conditions in Dominican
prisons, recommended a
sentence below the 15 to 21
month guidelines it had agreed
to in the plea agreement. Much
of the requests are
redacted.
Judge Woods gave
Bravo a time served sentence,
to be followed by three years
of supervised release.
The case is US v.
Bravo, 18-cr-283 (Woods)
