re: #256 Varek Raith

Looks like tax and mail fraud relating to a business venture he entered into before becoming a US Congressman.

The two-term congressman, who is up for re-election this November, is expected to face multiple criminal charges in connection with his operation of an Upper East Side health food restaurant that he owned prior to entering political life.

The former marine and FBI special agent is expected to be arraigned in federal court Monday afternoon. The charges against Grimm, which are believed to involve tax issues and wire and mail fraud in connection with his Healthalicious restaurant, are the culmination of a 2.5-year investigation that began as a probe into his 2010 campaign fundraising.

The indictment will likely be revealed later today.
