Disbarred lawyer pleads in casino funds case

Tuesday, October 30, 2007

A disbarred lawyer pleaded not guilty in connection with the transfer of nearly $500,000 from a tribal casino.

Christopher Moen is accused of failing to file campaign finance reports. State prosecutors say he used money from the Sisseton-Wahpeton Oyate Tribe’s casino to finance a group that sought to repeal video poker in South Dakota.

A second man, Travis Carrico, is also charged in connection with the scheme. He was the former manager of the tribe's casino.
