An FBI affidavit said a Russian government official tasked Hector Cabrera Fuentes, 35, with tracking down a vehicle owned by a U.S. government informant

A Mexican scientist accused of spying for Russia in Miami will be detained without bail for now, a federal judge decided Friday.

The temporary public defender for 35-year-old Hector Cabrera Fuentes said he agreed to remain in jail while his family works to hire a private lawyer.

“If your circumstances change, you could certainly request a bond at a later date,” U.S. Magistrate Judge Chris McAliley told Cabrera at a brief hearing. “We do expect that you will be able to obtain an attorney.”

Why would I believe charges brought forward by our federal government, especially when it comes to Russia?
