I'm told the judge in the extradition hearings for Avrohom Mondrowitz yesterday ordered Mondrowitz to remain in jail until the hearings regarding his extradition are completed.
This means no release into the custody of Ger hasidim, no house arrest, no freedom.
This phase of the extradition process could be over very soon. The next court hearing which, I'm told, if all goes well will be the last before the court's decision on whether or not to extradite Momdrowitz, is scheduled for Thursday, January 17. After that, barring any unforeseen developments the court will rule.
I believe Mondrowitz has the right to appeal any ruling, however, and this appeal process itself will take time. Similarly, if he is ruled extraditable and does appeal that decision, it is very likely the whole issue of house arrest or outright release on bail will again surface, this time before a different judge.
Stay tuned for more news regarding this case as it develops.
