Preventing Fugitive Fraudsters Act mandates passport surrender for defendants indicted for fraud.
The Preventing Fugitive Fraudsters Act amends the federal criminal code to require defendants indicted for fraud to surrender their passports as a condition of pretrial release. This applies to indictments under sections 666, 1343, 1956, or 1957. A judicial officer may exempt defendants from this requirement if specific written findings deem it unnecessary for ensuring their appearance in court.
