A Canadian appeals court judge has refused a bail request by Karim Baratov, whom U.S. prosecutors have charged worked with Russian agents in a high-profile breach of Yahoo Inc email accounts.
"At the end of the day, Mr Baratov remains a significant flight risk, and is alleged to have committed a serious offence," the ruling said. "The application is dismissed."
