Three Charged With Wiretapping, Racketeering
Robert Lemos writes on SecurityFocus:
A federal grand jury indicted private investigator Anthony Pellicano and two associates for the alleged illegal use of law enforcement data and wiretapping using a custom software program, prosecutors announced on Monday.
The 110-count indictment charges Pellicano and his associates with creating a criminal enterprise in which the private detective allegedly paid tens of thousands of dollars to police officers to provide him with confidential law enforcement information on numerous individuals. In addition, the indictment charges Pellicano and the two associates--a software developer and a telecommunications engineer--with creating a program known as Telesleuth in 1995 and using it as early as 1997 to wiretap such people as Herbalife co-founder Mark Hughes, actor Sylvester Stallone and journalist Anita Busch.
