Celebrity sleuth Pellicano re-arrested in Calif
Fri Feb 3, 2006 9:13 PM ET
By Steve Gorman and Gina Keating
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Private eye to the stars Anthony Pellicano,
freed from prison on Friday after serving 2 1/2 years for firearms
offenses, was immediately arrested again in a federal wiretap
investigation closely watched in Hollywood.
The charges were contained in sealed court documents that will be
made public when Pellicano, 61, is arraigned on Monday in U.S.
District Court in Los Angeles, said Inspector Jimell Griffin, a
spokesman for the U.S. Marshals Service.
The former private detective whose clients have included Tom Cruise,
John Travolta and Michael Jackson, has been quoted as vowing never to
betray his high-profile clients.
Still, a number of Hollywood heavyweights have answered questions
from federal agents or appeared before the grand jury that conducted
the investigation, among them Paramount Pictures Group Chairman Brad
Grey, Universal Studios President Ron Meyer and veteran entertainment
lawyer Bert Fields.
The scope of the charges will reveal whether federal prosecutors
believe he acted at the behest of powerful Hollywood clients willing
to eavesdrop on their enemies.
The wiretap probe was triggered in 2002 by accusations that Pellicano
had tried to intimidate reporter Anita Busch, then working for the
Los Angeles Times, to keep her from pursing stories about a suspected
Mafia extortion plot against actor Steven Seagal.
FBI agents searching Pellicano's West Hollywood office found computer
files containing large volumes of wiretap transcripts and notes, as
well as firearms, grenades and plastic explosives in a safe.
The weapons discovery led to his guilty plea on felony firearms
charges in October 2003 and a 30-month prison term.
Pellicano was taken into custody as he was released from the Taft
Correctional Institution near Bakersfield, California, where he was
serving that sentence.
Griffin said Pellicano was then transferred to the San Bernardino
County Jail, east of Los Angeles, to be held until his arraignment,
which is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Monday.
In June, the Los Angeles County district attorney charged Pellicano
in a separate case with making criminal threats against Busch and
conspiring with an associate, Alexander Proctor, to carry out those threats.
According to prosecutors, it was Proctor who placed a dead fish with
a rose in its mouth on the windshield of Busch's car outside her home
in June 2002. He also is accused of making a hole that resembled a
bullet hole in the windshield and leaving a sign printed with the word "stop."
Proctor is serving a 10-year prison term in Illinois on unrelated drug charges.
