• Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti is expected be slammed with a 36-count indictment by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles.
•The indictment, scheduled to be discussed at a press conference in Los Angeles on Thursday, comes more than two weeks after federal prosecutors in Los Angeles and New York hit Avenatti with separate criminal complaints.
• In the New York federal case, Avenatti is accused of trying to extort more than $20 million from Nike by threatening to expose alleged bribery of amateur basketball players and their families unless the company coughed up cash to Avenatti and a client.
Celebrity lawyer Michael Avenatti is expected be slammed Thursday with a 36-count indictment by a federal grand jury in Los Angeles.
The indictment, scheduled to be discussed at a press conference in Los Angeles at 9 a.m. PT, comes more than two weeks after federal prosecutors in Los Angeles and New York hit Avenatti with separate criminal complaints.
A press advisory issued by prosecutors says that the IRS is involved in the case, which suggests Avenatti will be charged with tax crimes.
Prosecutors in L.A. accused him in their prior complaint of defrauding a legal client by looting a $1.6 million civil settlement for that man to pay for Avenatti’s personal and business expenses.
He was also accused in that same case of defrauding a Mississippi bank by using bogus federal income tax returns to apply for and receive $4 million in loans.
