A court has frozen the UK bank accounts of one of America’s most wanted fugitives, who was arrested in rural Wales after 21 years on the run.
Daniel Andreas San Diego, 46, appeared at Llandudno Magistrates’ Court via video link from HMP Belmarsh in London on Monday.
Police applied for a 12-month account freezing order for money held in accounts, pending further investigations.
A police financial investigator said the three accounts, with balances totaling more than £20,000, were in the name of Danny Webb, now identified as Mr San Diego.
District Judge Gwyn Jones accepted the police’s application for an account freezing order.
San Diego is detained, waiting to be extradited to the United States.
He was arrested in November by the National Crime Agency and North Wales Police at a house in Maenan, near Llanrwst, Conwy, where he was believed to have lived under a false identity for several years.
San Diego was wanted by the FBI for allegedly bombing two office buildings in San Francisco in 2003.
The FBI described him as an “animal rights extremist.”
