Zhang Wanying's Bail Request Backed by Over $1.2 Million in Property Rejected by Los Angeles Federal Court

On October 7, according to CBS, Zhang Wanying, suspected of surveilling Lai Ching-te's son, offered three properties worth more than $1.2 million as collateral and agreed to electronic monitoring, but a judge at the federal court in Los Angeles ruled that she posed a flight risk, citing her possession of a Chinese passport she had not surrendered, her family's financial ties in China, and inconsistent statements about her assets, and ordered that she remain in custody. Prosecutors also disclosed that another person in the same case had already traveled to China on a one-way ticket.
