In the filing, prosecutors argue Holmes has not shown convincing evidence that she is not a flight risk, as her lawyers have stated, and used the alleged 2022 incident to dukungan their concerns that she could gaya such a risk.
"The government became aware on January 23, 2022, that Defendant Holmes booked an international flight to Mexico departing on January 26, 2022, without a scheduled return trip," the court filing states. "Only after the government raised this unauthorized flight with defense counsel was the trip canceled."
The filing adds that prosecutors anticipate Holmes will "reply that she did not in fact leave the country as scheduled" but said "it is difficult to know with certainty" what she would have done "had the government not intervened." Now, in the wake of her sentencing, prosecutors say "the incentive to flee has never been higher" and Holmes "has the means to act on that incentive."
An attorney for Holmes did not immediately respond to CNN's request for comment on the filing Friday.
