US – Reuters – American prosecutors have stepped up their criminal probe of law firm Milberg Weiss, a specialist in class-action cases, and have given immunity to two former partners at the firm, The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday.
The newspaper, citing unspecified lawyers close to the case, said a grand jury in Los Angeles heard secret testimony three weeks ago from Alan Schulman, one of the former partners who was granted immunity.
Milberg Weiss was implicated in a federal indictment unsealed in June against a client of the firm who allegedly accepted secret kickbacks to act as a plaintiff in more than 50 securities class-action suits. The law firm contends the payments were referral fees to other law firms that had been disclosed on tax documents.
