SDNY COURTHOUSE, June 22 – Gorazd Filimonović and Gašper Urbanac of Slovenia was arrested in Croatia in May 2021 on US drug trafficking charges. Extradition took more than two years.
On June 22, U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York Magistrate Judge Barbara C. Moses held the presentment of the two defendants. Inner City Press was there, the only media in the SDNY Mag Court.
Judge Moses sought a Slovenian interpreter. The best or nearest that could be found was a Croatian interpreter, Ms. Martic, by phone. Both defendants spoke English. Mr. Martic was on the phone only in case they needed help. (They didn't).
Both were detained on consent.
AUSA Hellman asked about the complaint being unsealed and was told that it had been.
But an hour after the proceeding, PACER still said "This case is under seal."
The case is US v. Filimonovic, et al., 21-mj-3821 (Moses)
