SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Oct 9 – The US Attorney
for the Southern District of
New York on the morning of
October 9 announced that
"DIMITRIOS LYMBERATOS, the
operator of a Queens pharmacy,
has been charged with
obstruction of justice for
arranging for a package
containing white powder, later
identified as cocaine, to be
sent to the home address of a
DEA Diversion Investigator who
was investigating LYMBERATOS’s
pharmacy. LYMBERATOS
surrendered to the DEA this
morning and will be presented
before United States
Magistrate Judge Barbara Moses
in Manhattan federal court
later today."
Inner City
Press monitored the
Magistrates Court and managed
to catch the presentment of
Lymberatos at 5 pm. There, the
US Attorney's Office proposed
and agreed to his release on
$200,000 bond. The only
dispute was the proposed
condition that he not have
communications with witnesses.
Judge
Moses asked how he would know
who the witnesses are. While
the AUSA said there was an
implicit "knowing"
requirement, Judge Moses
changed the wording to "any
contact with known witness."
The AUSA confirmed that the
only victim was the DEA agent
to whom the powder was mailed.
At the end
Lyberatos' lawyer asked where
his family should wait for
him.
200 Worth Street,
the Marshal said.
Judge Moses
added, Where all the famous
defendants have their picture
taken. Yeah.
The case is US v.
Lymberatos, 20-mj-10814
