ATTORNEY INDICTED
FOR RACKETEERING
A Denver Grand Jury
has returned a 14-count indictment against a Denver lawyer
alleging he stole millions of dollars from clients.
Wiley Todd
Linville (DOB: 10-10-58) is charged by indictment with:
-
Violation of the
Colorado Organized Crime Control Act (racketeering) (F2)
-
nine counts of
Theft of more than $15,000 (F3)
-
two counts of
Theft from an at-risk victim (F3)
-
solicitation to
commit tampering with physical evidence (F6)
-
attempt to
commit tampering with physical evidence (F6)
The indictment
alleges that over the last two years Linville converted 4 to 5
million dollars belonging to his clients to his own personal
use. He was charged earlier this year with one count of theft
but the investigation continued and revealed additional
allegations that were taken up by the Grand Jury and resulted in
the current indictment.
The indictment was
handed down yesterday, December 2, 2004 but remained sealed
until this afternoon. Wiley was taken into custody last night
and remains in the Denver County Jail. His bond is set at
$500,000. He will be formally advised of the charges on
December 17, 2004 at 8:30 a.m. in Denver District Courtroom 13.
