OYOGist.com has learned that Gal Pissetzky, the legal counsel to Ramon Abbas, aka Hushpuppi has disclosed that his client has a good chance of beating the fraud allegations against him, going further to say he is planning a to put up a vigorous defence to get him released.

Pissetzky, a top Chicago-based criminal defence attorney has been an ever-present face in many notable criminal cases in the United States of America, and going by his latest utterance, he believes the alleged fraudster would soon regain his freedom.

In his words: “There is always a chance, absolutely. That’s why they hired me and that’s why I am going to put up vigorous defence and defend him. I will give him good representation. He has a chance. In the United States of America, you have a jury system.”

Hushpuppi had been arrested by the Dubai authorities alongside 12 members of his gang and were alleged to have defrauded close to 2 million people from different countries and stolen money amounting to N168 billion.

He was later extradited to the USA as the Dubai police handed him over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the US, where he was arraigned on charges of conspiracy to commit money laundering, among others.

The counsel to the Nigerian had on Wednesday dismissed all allegations linking his client to the purported frauds saying his client is not guilty and that his client is into real estate.

When questioned if he would consider a plea bargain with the system to reduce Abbas’ sentence, Pissetzky was not forthcoming saying it would be a discussion between him and his client.
