SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 15 – Adama
Sow and Abdulai Jalloh were
arrested on November 15 and
charged with trafficking in
counterfeit goods.
They were
presented in the U.S. District
Court for the Southern
District of New York
Magistrates Court and released
on $1 million and $500,000
bond respectively. Inner City
Press was there, the only
media in the SDNY Mag
Court.
Magistrate
Judge Robert W. Lehrburger
asked why the bond was so high
and was told of multiple
storage units full of
counterfeit goods.
Ms. Sow declined
to sign a financial affidavit;
Federal Defenders represented
her only for presentment.
Reference was made to a
passport from Guinea, which
Sow visited for three weeks in
the past year.
Mr. Jalloh
was the last case of the day.
A Fulani interpreter was
brought in. The AUSA added
that the goods in the related
cases are worth $237 million.
But there are not photographs
in the two indictments.
It being
5:30 pm, Jalloh will have to
return to SDNY on November 16
for installation of his GPS
location monitoring bracelet.
The cases as US
v. Sow, 23-cr-593 and US v.
Jalloh, 23-cr-592 (Crotty /
Lehrburger)
