SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Aug 26 – Abraham Cano and
Welynton Garcia de la Cruz are
charged with conspiracy to
send dozens of kilograms of
cocaine from Puerto Rico into
the United States, including
to an address on White Plains
Road in The Bronx.
On August 25 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Magistrate Judge Debra C.
Freeman held back to back
presentments of the two
co-defendants. Inner City
Press covered
it.
Both had retained
counsel. Cano's lawyer said he
consented to detention without
prejudice to a later
application for release. Mr
Cano was let off the
call.
Then his
co-defendants was offered a
bail package by the US
Attorney's Office: $50,000
bond co-signed by two
financial responsible persons
and electronic
monitoring.
Assistant US
Attorney Benjamin Schrier
explained the insistence on
GPS, mentioning up to 60 kilos
of cocaine.
He did not say if
his Office would have offered
the same conditions of release
to Cano and if not, why not.
The case is US v.
Garcia de la Cruz et al.,
20-mj-9068 (Freeman).
