Attorneys for former Qwest chief executive Joe Nacchio filed an
emergency motion Wednesday to have him transported back to a
minimum-security prison camp at Schuylkill Federal Correctional
Institution in
Minersville,
Pa.
Nacchio had been serving a six-year prison term for
illegal insider trading at Schuyl kill since April 2009. Several
weeks ago, he was transported to Denver for a May 4 court hearing. After the
hearing, Nacchio remained in Denver
for nine days, according to the filing made in
U.S.
District Court in
Denver. He was flown to a federal
transfer center in Oklahoma City on May 13. On Monday, he arrived
at a detention center in Brooklyn, N.Y., about 150 miles from Schuylkill.
Nacchio's attorneys say in the court filing that Nacchio was
"denied his medications for days" and has not been provided any
information on when he is scheduled to return to Schuylkill. His attorneys are requesting that Nacchio be
transported by bus or car to Schuylkill
no later than Friday.
