Flight Risk: Court Orders and Akhmet Tokbergenov

flight risk: Karim Baratov was arrested under the Extradition Act last month after U.S. authorities indicted him and three others two of them allegedly officers of Russia's Federal Security Service for computer hacking, economic espionage and other crimes, according to The Chronicle Herald. American authorities have alleged in court documents that Baratov, who was born in Kazakhstan, poses an extremely high flight risk in part due to his alleged ties to Russian intelligence agents and his financial resources. Akhmet Tokbergenov was testifying in a Hamilton courtroom at his son's bail hearing, saying he and his wife were prepared to do whatever the court orders if their 22-year-old is released from custody and allowed to live with them. They've also noted that Baratov did not appear to have any legitimate employment. He's seeking to have the young man released on bail as he awaits an extradition hearing, arguing his client poses no flight risk. Baratov's lawyer has called the allegations against his client unfounded. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
