PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Edward Mezvinsky has been indicted on charges that he lied to banks and defrauded clients, including his mother-in-law, in a $10.4 million scheme.
Mezvinsky, 64, who represented Iowa from 1973 to 1977, was charged Thursday with 56 counts of fraud and related offenses in an indictment handed up by a federal grand jury.
His wife, former Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky, D-Pa., who has been named as a co-defendant in lawsuits against her husband, was not charged in the indictment.
