Story by Steve Beatty
Investigators for state Attorney General Buddy Caldwell plan to execute a search warrant at ACORN headquarters in New Orleans this afternoon, a spokeswoman for the office said today.
Caldwell’s office has been investigating the national activist groups since June on allegations of payroll tax fraud, covering up an embezzlement, mismanaging a retirement fund, among other things.
His office has already served subpoenas on the former head of ACORN, Wade Rathke, whose brother is alleged to have improperly charged at least $1 million to ACORN-related credit cards. Whitney Bank and ACORN’s outside accounting firm of Duplantier, Hrapmann Hogan & Maher have also been hit with subpoenas.
