No bail for Puerto Rican nationalist accused in robbery

A federal magistrate has ordered a Puerto Rican nationalist, charged in a multimillion-dollar 1983 robbery, should be held without bail until his trial.

Authorities say Avelino Gonzalez-Claudio, 65, arrested earlier this year in Puerto Rico, was one of more than a dozen alleged members of the group Los Macheteros who carried out the $7 million heist at the Wells Fargo depot in West Hartford.

The robbery was one of the largest in American history.

Gonzalez pleaded not guilty in February to 15 federal charges, including robbery and conspiracy. He was arrested without incident earlier that month in the Puerto Rican town where he had been living under an assumed name.”*
