SDNY COURTHOUSE,
March 12 -- Herberto Emiro
Acevedo Molina is a Venezuelan
citizen arrested and presented
on March 12 on bank fraud
charges and detained by U.S.
District Court for the
Southern Distict of New York
Magistrate Judge Ona T. Wang.
His Federal
Defender argued that due to
Coronavirus, he should not be
sent to the Metropolitan
Correctional Center. But this
argument was not accepted.
Next, his
Federal Defender that he like
others would not want to
return to Venezuela, seeming
to use the term barbaric
regime. (He declined to
confirm when asked by Inner
City Press after the
proceeding). The
Federal Defender said Herberto
Emiro Acevedo Molina is living
in Brooklyn with his
girlfriend who would will
willing to sign his
bond.
What does
she work in, Judge Wang asked.
Medical supply, the Defender
replied, adding that it must
be a rising industry now, a
second but not the last
reference to Coronavirus (he
lives in New Rochelle).
But the
risk of flight was deemed too
much by Judge Wang and
Herberto Emiro Acevedo Molina
was ordered detained without
prejudice to making a future
appliction for back. The case
is US v. Acevedo Molina,
20-mj-2775 (Wang).
