Mr. Schiff: Hi. This is “Wanted by the FBI” from the FBI. Bad bank manners for a California man on the run from the law.
Ms. Talamantez: “Harold Rangel has been indicted for federal charges of bribery of a bank official and falsification of bank records. And recently he was charged with unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.”
Mr. Schiff: That’s Special Agent Stephanie Talamantez at the FBI’s Los Angeles office.
Ms. Talamantez: “It’s alleged that Rangel provided the bank manager money, which he often deposited into a secret account. In exchange, this bank manager would provide him favors as well as his father and his father’s company. And these favors included, and were not limited to, falsified bank documents.”
Mr. Schiff: Talamantez says that Rangel convinced hundreds of people to invest in his father’s company.
Ms. Talamantez: “It’s believed there are approximately 600 victims, who invested over $35 million.”
Mr. Schiff: Harold Rangel may be in Mexico. See his wanted flyer on the Internet at
FBI.gov. That’s “Wanted by the FBI” for this week. I’m Neal Schiff of the Bureau’s Office of Public Affairs.
