Judge nixes Mexican holiday for executive charged in U.S. college admissions scandal

BOSTON (Reuters) - A federal judge on Friday nixed the international family vacation plans of a former senior executive at private equity firm TPG Capital charged in connection with the U.S. college admissions scandal, saying he posed a flight risk.
Bill McGlashan, who prosecutors say was among the wealthy parents who engaged in fraud and bribery schemes to help get their children into colleges, had sought to go ahead with a planned family vacation to Mexico.
Jack Pirozzolo, his lawyer, argued in federal court in Boston that denying his client the ability to leave the country for a trip he planned months ago just because of the charges filed against him on March 12 was entirely punitive.
But Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Rosen argued McGlashan should be limited to vacationing domestically, like at his $12 million home in Big Sky, Montana. U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley agreed, concluding that McGlashan posed some risk of flight.
