Did Disgruntled Partners Lead To The Dewey Prosecution?
A new filing in the re-trial of former Dewey & LeBoeuf chief financial officer Joel Sanders and former executive director Stephen DiCarmine alleges that two former Dewey partners put pressure upon the Manhattan District Attorney’s office to look into the financials of the failed firm, reports in Above the Law.
Three former Dewey executives went on trial last year for their roles in the demise of the firm. After a mistrial, former Dewey chairman, Steven Davis, signed a deferred prosecution agreement, and Sanders and DiCarmine could be facing a new trial in 2017.
“It is in the context of this new trial that Sanders’s legal team filed documents suggesting two attorneys pressured the District Attorney’s office to investigate the firm’s finances,” Rubino reports.
