A Paris court denied bail to businessman Thomas Herdman, who faces 22 charges, including laundering profits from drug trafficking through Sky ECC phones. Despite his claims of cooperation with US authorities, the court ruled he posed a flight risk. The case follows a major crackdown after Belgian and Dutch police decrypted Sky ECC, leading to numerous arrests. Herdman argues he was wrongfully extradited from the US, where he was assisting investigations. His legal team contends he should not be deemed a flight risk.
"The prosecutor acknowledged both Herdman's cooperation and the fact that he had not directly communicated with an organized crime syndicate."
"His lawyer argued that Herdman had consistently demonstrated his willingness to work with law enforcement and should not be considered a flight risk."
