Hushpuppi’s Lawyer Mr Pissetzky, has denied reports that his client was released by the United States of America.
On Wednesday, screenshots of the Bureau of Prisons website, showing his release, went viral.
According to the details on the website, Mr. Abbas (popularly known as Huspuppi) was released on July 20.
But reacting to the reports, Pissetzky said:
“These reports are not true. He has not been released. The Bureau of prisons website shows that he was released simply because he is being transferred now to California.”
Mr Abbas, 37, who was resident in Dubai and known for flaunting extravagant lifestyle on social media, was arrested last month over wire fraud allegations. He was extradited to the U.S on July 3.
His case was further from Illinois to the Central District of California for prosecution, last Monday.
