Good morning from New York.

Another international money laundering case comes to the Southern District today with a hearing in the #PanamaPapers prosecution tied to firm Mossack Fonseca.

More on those developments soon, @CourthouseNews.
Like yesterday, I’ll be tweeting what happened after the hearing has ended.
@CourthouseNews Brief recap of the hearing:

Mossack Fonseca attorney Ramses Owens, the lead defendant, wasn't in court because he claims Panamanian authorities won't let him travel.

Per Judge Berman: "The Issue of whether Mr. Owens is a fugitive is one on the table."
@CourthouseNews Owens' attorney Charlie Carillo claimed that he has petitioned authorities there to let him appear in SDNY, but there has been no ruling from Panamanian courts.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Nathan Rehn countered that Owens' team hasn't met with them to push a solution.
@CourthouseNews A couple of other developments:

Prosecutors revealed there may be a superseding indictment in the coming weeks with an additional aggravated identity theft count for Richard Gaffey, a U.S. accountant charged.

Trial date in the #PanamaPapers case is set for Jan. 13.
