Konstantin Ignatov’s detention hearing likely delayed till Friday


In accordance with a letter to the Choose filed by Konstantin Ignatov’s legal professional, a detention listening to was scheduled for June twenty fifth.

Ignatov’s legal professional has requested an adjournment, permitting for time to evaluation “the federal government’s submission with the defendant”.

At the moment we don’t know what the contents of the DOJ submission to Ignatov are, or how they have been submitted (underneath seal or instantly).

Final week Ignatov’s legal professional requested pre-trial launch. Had the DOJ not have had any objections they might have consented to the request.

One can seemingly surmise that their submission to Ignatov thus accommodates a compromise or amendments to Ignatov’s unique request.

Given the general secrecy of the case (there’s no indication on the case docket relating to tomorrow’s listening to for instance), I’m undecided how a lot info we’ll get from the but to be scheduled Friday listening to.

Except there’s a court docket minute entry being withheld from the general public docket, as I write this tomorrow’s listening to continues to be scheduled.

Given the DOJ has given consent to the adjournment request, I don’t see any cause for the court docket to refuse Ignatov’s legal professional’s request.

Keep tuned for updates as we obtain them.

 

Replace twenty seventh June 2019 – As per a late within the day June twenty fifth order, Ignatov’s detention listening to has been rescheduled for June twenty eighth.
