4TH PERSON WITH GIULIANI LINKS ARRESTED AT JFK
David Correia, the fourth defendant in a campaign finance case involving business associates of President Donald Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, was arrested Wednesday morning at a New York City airport, officials said.
Correia has been charged with participating in a scheme to use foreign money to build political support for a recreational marijuana business, according to an indictment unsealed last week that also charged Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman with conspiracy and making false statements to campaign finance regulators.
The other three defendants were quickly arrested by the FBI, but Correia’s whereabouts have been unclear until Wednesday. All four defendants are due to appear before a judge Thursday.
Parnas and Furman, who had been helping Giuliani investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden, were arrested a week ago at Dulles International Airport near Washington.
