Texas: Suspect denied bail in case of fake flu vaccine
Dale Lezon and Cindy Horswell write in The Houston Chronicle:
A Houston man accused of attempting to bilk federal health care agencies after providing fake flu vaccines to senior citizens and Exxon Mobil employees was denied bail Tuesday.
His attorney and a close friend said it is unfair.
Iyad Abu El Hawa is a flight risk and apparently has lied to federal investigators about his scheme to defraud Medicare, said U.S. Magistrate Nancy Johnson in a hearing Tuesday.
Johnson said that since El Hawa has nine siblings living in Israel and holds Israeli and Jordanian passports, he might flee before his trial.
