„Nu-mi pasă, sunt bogat”. Bărbatul care a lovit cu o piatră o focă-călugăr în Hawaii scapă de o parte din restricțiile de călătorie

A federal judge has eased travel restrictions for Igor Lytvynchuk, who was filmed throwing a rock at a monk seal in Hawaii. This decision precedes his trial set for November 16. Lytvynchuk gained notoriety after the video went viral, claiming he was wealthy and could pay any fines. He faces serious charges under the Endangered Species Act and the Marine Mammal Protection Act, risking up to a year in prison for each count. His lawyer argues he was trying to protect nearby turtles by scaring the seal. The judge has released him on a $25,000 bail, allowing broader travel within Washington state.
