How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- no present or prospective foreign prosecution, despite asserted claims of \shadowy investigations\ and newspaper accounts, and no likely potential for extradition, so no real and substantial fear of prosecution
- contemnor defied court order to testify because of fear of foreign prosecution; Second Circuit held his refusal to answer was not privileged under the Fifth Amendment, so he was properly held in contempt
