A lawyer for Lev Parnas, the associate of Rudy Giuliani charged in a scheme to violate U.S. campaign-finance laws, asked a Manhattan federal judge late Wednesday to modify the terms of his client's pretrial release so that he can leave his house during the day.

Attorney Joseph Bondy said that Parnas was being held on the "strictest terms of home confinement" and had requested permission to leave his house every day between the hours of 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., so long as he avoids "airports, boat docks or train terminals."

Parnas, he said, was equipped with a GPS monitoring bracelet and had been in "full compliance" with his release terms, which were set following his Oct. 9 arrest at Dulles International Airport. Parnas' pretrial services officer did not oppose the request, Bondy said.

"Given Mr. Parnas' unblemished record of compliance, and the position of his pre-trial services officer, it is respectfully submitted that the proposed modification to home detention with a curfew should be granted," Bondy wrote in a two-page letter to Judge J. Paul Oetken of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.

Bondy first raised the issue during a status conference on Monday. Prosecutors opposed the request, citing in part Parnas' risk of flight, but Oetken said he would consider both sides' submissions.

Parnas was arrested earlier this year while waiting to leave the country with a one-way plane ticket. He is charged with conspiracy and campaign finance violations.

Prosecutors allege that Parnas and his co-defendant Igor Fruman, had arranged to funnel foreign money to candidates for state and federal office in order to buy political influence in the U.S.

Both men, former clients of Giuliani, have been released on bond ahead of trial. Two other men have also been charged in the alleged scheme.

Prosecutors said Monday that they seized at least seven phones from Parnas and are in the process of reviewing "voluminous" discovery in the case. When asked, Assistant U.S. Attorney Douglas Zolkind said prosecutors were still reviewing the evidence and were actively considering filing a new indictment.

"We think a superseding indictment is likely, but no decision has been made," Zolkind said. "It's something we're continuing to evaluate."

Giuliani has not been charged with any wrongdoing in the case and has repeatedly denied any suggestions of wrongdoing.
