News Chris Ahn, ex-marine tied to North Korean embassy raid, to be released on bailU.S. authorities previously warned Ahn represented a "flight risk" if released
Christopher Ahn, a former U.S. marine who Spanish authorities have linked to the February break-in at North Korea’s embassy in Madrid, was at a hearing at a California court on Tuesday ordered to be freed on a $1.3 million bail. Ahn — who the U.S. government has asked be held in captivity since his detention in April — must remain under house arrest pending further proceedings into his potential extradition to Spain. He will be required to use an ankle monitor, and will only be permitted to leave home for medical appointments and to attend church. Family and friends who put © Korea Risk Group.
