LOS ANGELES - A former U.S. Marine accused of participating in a robbery at the North Korean embassy in Madrid is eligible for release from custody, a federal judge in Los Angeles ruled on Tuesday, even as the man faces possible extradition to Spain.
U.S. agents arrested Ahn, 38, on April 18 in Los Angeles, and his attorneys have sought his release from custody since then. The intruders removed computers, computer drives and a mobile phone from the embassy, according to U.S. court documents. Ahn continues to pose a flight risk and would be motivated to flee because he faces death threats, prosecutors said in court papers filed last week.
