Ralls & Wille is proud to announce that the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals has unanimously affirmed the suppression of wiretap evidence in United States v. Panousopoulos. In a decisive ruling, the court agreed that federal agents failed to satisfy the stringent legal standards required to deploy one of the government’s most invasive investigative tools. This decision reaffirms a bedrock principle of our justice system: constitutional protections and federal procedural safeguards are not optional, they must be honored in every case, no matter the gravity of the allegations.
At Ralls & Wille, we stand unwaveringly for government accountability and for our clients’ right to a rigorous, principled defense. This outcome is the product of years of determined advocacy and meticulous litigation through both the trial and appellate levels. We deeply appreciate the court’s careful and considered review, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to defending individuals and businesses confronting complex federal investigations and prosecutions.
