U.S. Department of Justice responds to CZ travel restriction complaint, prosecutors may seek statutory maximum sentence of ten years

Odaily News The U.S. Department of Justice responded to CZ’s defense team’s statement in its latest court filing that he faces a “brief” sentence and has no motive to escape. The government made it clear that under criminal guidelines, CZ could be sentenced to up to 18 months in prison, and prosecutors could seek a statutory maximum sentence of up to ten years. The document mentions that although CZ has family ties and has not been in prison, the sentence he faces will have a significant impact on him. Based on this, the U.S. government believes that the measures it proposed to restrict CZ’s travel during the period of guilty plea and sentencing are reasonable and necessary, aiming to ensure that CZ can bear legal responsibility within the United States and reduce his potential flight risk.
