The first of 12 Wells Fargo robbery suspects was granted $1-million bail, despite FBI claims that he is linked to the terrorist slaying of a labor lawyer and a bank robbery in Puerto Rico. U.S. Magistrate F. Owen Eagan ruled in Hartford, Conn., that federal prosecutors failed to prove that Jorge Aurelio Farinacci-Garcia, 35, would pose a danger and flee the country. The defendant was the first of the 12 accused members of a clandestine group to argue for bail in connection with the $7 million robbery two years ago at a Wells Fargo depot in West Hartford.
