BROWNSVILLE, Texas (AP) — A federal judge has revoked the bond of an Austin lawyer standing trial on racketeering charges in Corpus Christi.
At a hearing in Brownsville on Friday, U.S. District Judge Andrew Hanen ordered Marc Rosenthal jailed for violating terms of his release.
The Valley Morning Star in Harlingen reports prosecutors told Hanen that Rosenthal had embraced Jose Santiago "Jim" Solis, a key government witness and former state lawmaker, in a bear hug. Prosecutors also said Rosenthal had been seen drinking in a Brownsville bar.
The paper reports Rosenthal was to avoid contact with a victim, witness, co-defendants or defendants in related cases, and not drink in public.
Rosenthal had been free on $100,000 bond since his 2011 indictment. His trial began Monday in Corpus Christi.
The case is part of a years-long federal investigation into former state District Judge Abel Limas, who has already pleaded guilty to racketeering and is awaiting sentencing.
