CAUTION

Harold Rangel has been indicted for bribing a bank officer and falsifying bank records. He is also under investigation for his alleged participation in a high yield investment and mortgage fraud conspiracy that was operating in the Los Angeles area. The scheme targeted approximately 600 Latino families, causing them to invest more than $35 million.

After Rangel failed to appear at a pre-trial hearing, a warrant for his arrest was issued by the United States District Court, Central District of California, on February 11, 2009. A second federal warrant was issued on July 16, 2009, after Rangel was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
