The US Department of Justice asked for a deadline extension for the indictment against George Janssen, a Michigan poker player who last month was accused of fraud by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

On Feb. 25, the FBI filed a complaint in the US District Court Eastern District of Michigan accusing Janssen of running a multi-million dollar auto loan scheme.

Ordinarily, prosecutors must file an indictment within 30 days of when the defendant was arrested (Feb. 28). But the DOJ asked US Magistrate Judge Patricia T. Morris for an extension to May 28 in a joint motion with Janssen, arguing that “the ends of justice served by this continuance outweigh the best interests of the defendant and the public in a speedy indictment.”
