Madoff appeals for release
14-03-2009
Lawyers for the American financier, Bernard Madoff, have appealed for his release from custody, a day after he pleaded guilty to the biggest fraud in the country's history. They said their client was unlikely to flee and posed no threat to the community. The lawyers were appealing against a decision to revoke his US$10 million bail and send him to jail pending sentencing in June.
