March 13, 2008—
Jack Abramoff's old lobby firm has been slapped with its first indictment stemming from his misdeeds.
The attorney general for Guam issued an indictment Monday against the Greenberg Traurig firm, Abramoff and a former Guam government official on nine felony counts of theft, conspiracy and misconduct.
"We strongly deny these charges and are confident we will prevail when all the facts are known," said firm spokeswoman Jill Perry in an e-mail. "We have cooperated with all law enforcement agencies and congressional investigations and made sure that any former clients were fairly treated. We will address this matter in the same spirit."
It is believed to be the first time Greenberg Traurig has faced indictment in connection to their disgraced former superstar lobbyist, although Perry did not confirm that.
