A Slidell man is charged in a multi-million-dollar embezzlement scheme.
Louisiana Attorney General Liz Murrill announced the arrest of John Ohle, III on multiple charges, including fraud, forgery and identity theft.
The charges stem from an investigation into a multi-year embezzlement and fraud scheme that defrauded a private clay mining company and its clients of more than $2.5 million.
During this investigation, agents learned the disbarred attorney and CPA had diverted revenues from the clay mining company to accounts he controlled.
"My office will continue investigating complex financial crimes and holding those responsible accountable. Louisiana businesses deserve that protection," said Murrill.
