SDNY MAG COURT
EXCLUSIVE, Dec 8 - In
the U.S. District Court for
the Southern District of New
York on December 8, a
detention or bond proceeding
was held by Magistrate Judge
Valerie Figueredo on a man
flown in on a detained from
Arkansas, charged with
transporting guns bought there
by straw men (or straw people)
and transporting them for sale
and use in The Bronx.

The
defendant was Adoudulaye
Keita; his assigned CJA lawyer
asked for release on bond to
his father on Sheridan Avenue
in The Bronx with his mother
in Arkansas co-signing a bond.
The
Assistant US Attorney said
that a recorded jail call
caught Keita directing another
to look into a co-defendant in
the case, to see if they were
cooperating.
But when Judge
Figueredo asked if there was a
transcript of the call, she
was told there was an Excel
spreadsheet of quotes from the
call. That was never brought
to the Magistrates Court.
Perhaps,
then, to District Judge
Loretta A. Preska. When Keita
was ordered released once the
signatory condition are met,
the AUSA said they will be
appealing to Judge Preska.
Inner City Press will continue
to follow the case(s).
The case is US v.
Keita, et al., 22-cr-435
(Preska / Figueredo)
