A judge has delayed the release of Daniel Mahon, one of two white supremacist brothers suspected in the 2004 bombing of Scottsdale’s diversity office.

Mahon was originally scheduled to be released from federal custody on Monday after posting a $50,000 bond, but prosecutors asked for it to be delayed so they could appeal the decision, according to the Rockford Register Star newspaper in Illinois, which covered the proceedings there earlier this week.

Mahon and his twin brother, Dennis Mahon, were arrested June 25 in rural Illinois by federal authorities after a five-year investigation led agents to suspect them of the bombing, which injured three Scottsdale employees. Dennis Mahon is being held without bail. Another judge is scheduled to decide Wednesday whether Daniel Mahon should be released on bond, according to the Register Star.
