Judge says Hansen Helicopters executive poses a flight risk if allowed to go to Philippines
Guam -- A federal judge rejected a travel request filed by a Hansen Helicopters executive facing criminal charges, stating the executive "poses a flight risk if permitted to travel to the Philippines," court filings state.
Phillip Kapp, listed as Hansen's director of maintenance, asked the court for permission to fly to the Philippines for work. On Tuesday, Magistrate Judge Joaquin Manibusan Jr. denied his request.
In his order, the judge noted that “there are many discrepancies in [Kapp's] filings and statements to this court.”
Manibusan's order also said Kapp had travel documents and identification cards that "indicate the defendant had strong ties to the Philippines that he had not previously disclosed to the court."
