Federal Court Grants Motion to Dismiss Twenty-Count Criminal Indictment in Las Vegas

September 9, 2011

After two years of investigation, the United States Department of Justice indicted a client on eighteen counts of mail fraud, one count of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and aiding and abetting. An asset-forfeiture count accompanied the indictment for an alleged loss of one-million dollars.

Less than six months after the criminal indictment was filed, a motion to dismiss the indictment was granted by a Magistrate Judge for the District Court of Nevada. Lisa D. Angelo, co-chair of the firm’s White Collar practice group, secured the favorable ruling.
