Judges will often place a Nebbia hold on a person suspected of drug trafficking, organized scheme to defraud, or RICO offenses. For that person to be released from jail pending trial, the Nebbia hold must be satisfied. A Nebbia hold can sometimes delay a person’s release from jail for weeks. It’s important to get a lawyer knowledgeable in Nebbia holds when under investigation or arrest for any drug trafficking, fraud, or RICO case.
