Sixth continuance pushes trial date back another month
Neteller founders Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre will remain untried for a further month, according to a statement this week by the public information officer for the US District Attorney's Office in New York, where both men are on massive $5 million bail and restricted to movement within the state.
The Neteller duo, both Canadian citizens, were arrested by federal agents whilst on US soil back in January this year, subsequently released on heavy bail and have since been the subject of repeated continuances. Their arrest sparked the withdrawal of the Isle of Man based Neteller from the US market, freezing US player accounts, a situation that persists today.
No further details were available as we went to press, but the latest delay will mean the trial of the two men is unlikely to take place before the end of June...and there could be further delays when that date is reached. |
