SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 14 – On August 12 Fiedel
Bautista and Ramon Portes were
arrested in the Bronx and
charged with money laundering
drug proceeds.
On August 13 the
men appeared back to back in
U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrates Court. Inner City
Press covered it.
Bautista
asked to be released on bond,
but was denied.
Ramon
Portes consented to detention
and got a medical order, since
his medications were under an
alias.
Both are from the
Dominican Republic. Bautista
when asked if he would like
consular notification asked,
Why? I was arrested
here.
On August 14 the
paperwork of the two
proceedings went onto PACER,
with the orders signed by SDNY
Magistrate Judge Paul E.
Davison including, for Ramon
Portes, a request for consular
notification on which Judge
Davison requested an update in
a week.
On Bautista, the
minute order said "defendant
to be detained due to risk of
flight." During the proceeding
it was said he makes $3500 a
month, and had to his name
$224 (though $100,000 in cash
in the cab).
These disclosures
are relevant to another SDNY
defendant's argument that his
CJA form should be sealed in
full. If so, why were these
defendants' information read
out loud on a public line.
These cases are
US v. Bautista, 20-mj-8578
(Davison).
