A MONTEREY COUNTY AGRIBUSINESS EXECUTIVE, WHO WAS ARRESTED A YEAR AGO, WANTS TO TRANSFER 1.3 MILLION DOLLARS BACK TO THE STATES FROM AN OVERSEAS BANK ACCOUNT. SCOTT SALYER, WHO FACES CHARGES OF FRAUD, PRICE FIXING, AND RACKETEERING, SAYS HE NEEDS THE MONEY TO HELP FINANCE HIS LEGAL DEFENSE. PART OF SALYER’S BAIL CONDITIONS REQUIRE HIM TO GET COURT APPROVAL FOR ALL FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS.
THAT REQUEST IS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD TOMORROW (WEDNESDAY), IN A FEDERAL U.S. DISTRICT COURT.
