New Yorker banned from visiting capitals of all states after the attack on the Capitol

The son of a famous Brooklyn judge who took part in capture of the Capitol January 6, banned from appearing in the capital of any US state. In addition, he has no right to participate in any political action. The details of the court decision in his case were told by the publication New York Post.

These unusual conditions were part of a package judgment that included a $ 100 bond. It was issued against 000-year-old Aaron Mostofsky, who was arrested Tuesday for allegedly stealing a police shield and body armor during the siege of the Capitol.

Dressed in fur skins and body armor, Aaron Mostofsky was in the first wave of rioters who broke into the halls of Congress, forcing lawmakers to evacuate. He can be seen in several photographs outside the Senate Chambers. He was holding a wooden stick and a police shield.

According to him, he stormed the building because "the elections were stolen," and he allegedly found a police shield on the floor.

US Judge Sanket Bulsara told Mostofsky that he would sign the bail package, although "the charges are serious and the evidence presented is substantial."

Mostofsky will be released into the care of his older brother, Neil Mostofsky. He will have to comply with a curfew and wear a GPS tracker. He cannot leave New York without the permission of the pre-trial services, and he is also prohibited from communicating with any of the other defendants in this case.

US Assistant Attorney Josh Hafetz said the "government is deeply concerned" about Mostofsky's behavior.

Defense attorney Jeffrey Schwartz said his client was simply "caught up by the crowd" during the storming of the Capitol, which killed five people and severely damaged the historic building.
