O.C. Deputy D.A. Is Indicted in Laundering Case
- Share via
A federal grand jury has indicted an Orange County deputy district attorney and 11 others in connection with an elaborate drug and money-laundering ring, the U.S. Attorney’s office said Friday.
The indictment charges Bryan Ray Kazarian, a six-year veteran of the district attorney’s office, with conspiracy. The other defendants, including the founder of the local chapter of the Hells Angels, face drug- and money-laundering charges, said Thom Mrozek, a spokesman for the U.S. Attorney’s office.
Authorities arrested the defendants two weeks ago after the U.S. attorney’s office filed charges against them. Kazarian’s arraignment is set for June 28.
“This is a significant development,” Mrozek said. “A federal grand jury has made the determination that there is probable cause to go forward on the prosecution of these defendants.”
