Offshore businessman Marc M. Harris was tipped off that U. S. criminal investigators were in Nicaragua looking for him the night before his arrest after being indicted in Florida for money laundering, OffshoreAlert has been told. Despite the tip-off, Harris spent the night in Managua and was arrested the next morning — on June 10 — as he traveled to the country's immigration department with his attorney.

Offshore businessman Marc M. Harris, watched by his mother and represented by a public defender, was denied bail today in Miami, where he pleaded not guilty to 13 counts of money laundering."It's clear to me that the government has established by a preponderance of the evidence that he is a risk of flight," said Magistrate Judge William Turnoff.
