United States v. Ofer Biton

12 Cr. 580 (RJM), E.D.N.Y.

United States v. Ofer Biton, 12 Cr. 580 (RJM), E.D.N.Y. – Mr. Biton, an Israeli National, is charged with conspiring to make false statements in an immigration application. Mr. Biton received bail after an unprecedented seventh bail hearing, in which District Court Judge Nicolas Garaufis upheld the magistrate’s decision on appeal from the United States Government after the sixth bail hearing. This international case has implicated Mr. Biton with Rabbi Pinto and Rep. Michael Grimm regarding unethical conduct. Biton raised thousands of dollars for Rep. Grimm during his campaign, which federal prosecutors are scrutinizing for financial irregularities.
