Couple on new Enron charges
The US justice department yesterday announced new charges against former Enron chief financial officer Andrew Fastow and for the first time accused his wife, and seven other ex-Enron officials of fraud and other criminal violations in connection with the company's collapse.
A grand jury in Texas returned a 109-count indictment charging Fastow, who was originally indicted last October on 78 counts, with fraud, insider trading and falsification of Enron's accounting records.
The indictment also named former Enron corporate treasurer Ben Glisan and former finance executive Dan Boyle.
The grand jury also returned a six-count indictment charging Fastow's wife, former Enron assistant treasurer Lea Fastow, with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, money laundering conspiracy and filing false tax returns.
The grand jury also increased the number of charges relating to Enron's failed internet division.
Earlier seven of the former Enron executives, including Mrs Fastow, surrendered to federal authorities in Houston.
