LOS ANGELES - A U.S. man accused of taking part in a raid on the North Korean Embassy in Madrid was ordered freed on $1.3 million bail on Tuesday but must serve home confinement ahead of his possible extradition to Spain.
“I spent a lot of time reading about you and I’m confident you’re going to do the right thing,” Rosenbluth told Ahn, who had several family members in attendance at the hearing. The intruders removed computers, computer drives and a mobile phone from the embassy, according to U.S. court documents. Spanish investigators identified the intruders as members of a group called Cheollima Civil Defense, or Free Joseon, that seeks the overthrow of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.An attorney for Ahn has acknowledged he was part of an “underground railroad” that helped at least one person and his family flee North Korean authorities, according to U.S. court documents.
Ahn was expected to be released from custody in the coming days after bail is posted, said Ciaran McEvoy, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s Office.
