Abramoff and Greenberg Traurig Law Firm Indicted in Guam
March 14, 2008 in Public Corruption by Solomon Wisenberg | No comments
They do things a little differently in Guam. Apparently without any advance notice to Greenberg Traurig LLP, the giant law firm was added to a Second Superseding Indictment in Guam, along with convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff, who once worked for Greenberg Traurig. The ABA Journal story is here. Here is the Abramoff/Greenberg Traurig Indictment. The Pacific Daily News of Guam has coverage here. The charges were brought under Guam territorial law and essentially allege a conspiracy to evade the procedures and regulations, and misapproriate the funds of, the Superior Court of Guam, in an effort to hide lobbying activities undertaken by Abramoff and Greenberg Traurig on behalf of the Court. Greenberg Traurig has vowed to fight the Indictment, and has stated that it is a victim of Abramoff. From a quick view of the Second Superseding Indictment, it looks as if Greenberg Traurig may have simply been added because Abramoff worked for the firm at the time of the alleged events.
