CALIFORNIA IN BRIEF : SAN DIEGO : Silberman Allowed to Remain on Bail
A judge rejected the prosecution’s request to revoke Richard T. Silberman’s $500,000 bail, but restricted the indicted financier’s travels to California and ordered him to call court authorities three times a week. Responding to intense publicity in the wake of Silberman’s two-day disappearance and attempted suicide in Las Vegas earlier this month, U.S. District Judge Leland C. Nielsen also said he would consider imposing a gag order on attorneys in the case, set for trial April 10. Silberman and four others are charged with laundering $300,000 in alleged drug proceeds given to them by an undercover FBI agent.
