The Canadian accused of helping Russian intelligence agents break into email accounts as part of a massive 2014 breach of Yahoo accounts may waive his right to fight a U.S. extradition request, his lawyer said on Friday. He is the only one of four people charged in the case currently in custody.

Baratov has been denied bail and remains in an Ontario jail, with judges ruling that he is a flight risk.
