Bloomberg.com: U.S.: "Abramoff Indictment May Echo in Other Cases, Ex-Prosecutors Say
Aug. 12 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. indictment of Jack Abramoff on fraud charges in Florida may reverberate throughout Washington as federal prosecutors increase pressure on the Republican lobbyist to cooperate in other investigations.
A federal grand jury in Fort Lauderdale yesterday charged Abramoff and business partner Adam Kidan with wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud and mail fraud in connection with the purchase of a casino ship company in 2000. Prosecutors allege that the two provided false information on their loan application and used a counterfeit document to mislead lenders."
