Ex FBI McGonigal Charged with Deripaska Aid Has Next on May 10 but Shestakov Wants Delay

By Matthew Russell Lee, Patreon Worth St Video

SDNY COURTHOUSE, May 9 -  In the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, an arraignment was held by Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave former FBI agent Charles McGonigal, for helping Russian oligarch Deripaska in violation of US sanctions, and money laundering.

 McGonigal, who'd hired former US Attorney for the Eastern District of NY Seth duCharme, pled not guilty and was given a $500,000 personal recognisance bond bail deal. Thread below. He has also been indicted in the District for the District of Colombia and should appear there on January 25. Inner City Press will cover both cases.

January 23 McGonigal thread here:

McGonigal's lawyer, former EDNY US Attorney Seth deCharme asks clerk about starting "paperwork," making it seem his client already has a bail deal.

 All rise!

Time of arrest? Saturday 3:15 pm.

 Russian interpreter will be presented separately.

Magistrate Judge Sarah L. Cave runs through the charges, citing Russian bank and Cyprus corporation.

McGonagal, through deCharme, pleads not guilty.

AUSA: We propose release on $500,000 personal recognisance bond with 2 co-signers.

DuCharme: Both are in court today. [Note, in light of Sam Bankman-Fried's secrecy: they are not wearing masks, not even COVID masks]

DuCharme: Mr McGonigal sometimes needs to travel overseas. [You don't say] He may apply for permission in the future.

On February 9, Judge Rearden held a conference. Inner City Press was there, tweets here. Then: "Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Jennifer H. Rearden: Status Conference as to Charles McGonigal, Sergey Shestakov held on 2/9/2023. Defendant Charles McGonigal present with Retained attorney Seth DuCharme and Meagan Maloney. Defendant Sergy Shestakov present with Retained attorney Rita Glavin and Katherine Petrino. AUSA Hagan Cordell Scotten, Rebecca Dell and Derek Wikstrom present for the government. Next conference is scheduled for Thursday, March 9, 2023.

On March 9, Inner City Press was there. Thread here:

OK - now again ex FBI McGonigal and co-defendant oligarch case in SDNY.

McGonigal's lawyer Seth DuCharme: We look forward to our trial. In the short term we can make motions.

Co-D Shestakov's lawyer: We'll say more in our conference this afternoon [Sealed CIPA confetence]

Now talks turns to taking Rule 15 depositions abroad. "There are foreign nationals with exculpatory information," co-D's lawyer says.

Judge: Letter update in 30 days on April 5  conference in 60 days on May 10 at 2 pm at which we'll pick a trial date.

But on May 9, counsel to co-defendant Sergey Shestakov wrote to Judge Rearden asking that "the Court set this matter down for another status conference in September or October, rather than set a trial date at this time."

The case is US v. McGonigal, et al., 23-cr-16 (Rearden)
