U.S. Attorney Unseals Indictments in Massive New York City Payroll Scandal 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



There have been a few major developments in the City Time payroll
scandal in New York City that was first exposed by Democracy Now!'s
co-host Juan Gonzalez in the pages of the New York Daily News. On
Monday, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara unsealed indictments
against the company Techno Dyne and its founders on charges of paying
millions in kickbacks to get City Time work, and for money laundering.
Meanwhile, the founders of the company, Reddy Allen and his wife Padma,
are now fugitives. They recently fled to India. U.S. Attorney Bharara
described City Time as "one of the largest and most brazen frauds ever
committed against the city."
