The premier of the , whom U.S. prosecutors described as "corrupt to the core," was given a $500,000 bond that could see him released from prison as he awaits trial on charges tied to a U.S. narcotics sting. In a surprise decision, federal court Judge Alicia Otazo-Reyes rejected prosecutors' argument that Andrew Fahie may flee the U.S. and possibly engage in criminal activity if he is freed.
Instead, she said he could remain in Miami, confined to the rented apartment of his two college-age daughters, if he and his family surrender their passports and he wears an ankle bracelet monitor in addition to paying the sizable corporate surety bond.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Frederic Shadley said the government would appeal the decision, meaning it's unclear when and if Fahie would be released.
