SDNY COURTHOUSE, Nov 16 – Leo Hernandez was indicted as part of a conspiracy to distribute oxycodone.

After the indictment, he went to and stayed in Colombia. When he was arrested there, he pretended to be an FBI agent.

   On November 16, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Judge Richard Mr. Berman held a proceeding. Inner City Press covered it.   

 Hernandez' lawyer has argued that his brother works for the NYC Bureau of Fraud Investigations.

Still and all, he was not released. The next conference, which may be adjourned, is for now set for November 18.

The case is  US v. Hernandez, 20-cr-79 (Berman)
