United States Seventh Circuit

Conviction for bank fraud is affirmed over defendant's objection that he was entitled to dismissal of the indictment based upon an eleven-year lapse between the return of the indictment and his arrest, where: 1) defendant left the country and could not have been easily found; 2) there was no delay in prosecution once defendant returned to the U.S.; 3) defendant was not prejudiced by the delay; and 4) defendant had not sought a speedy trial.
