Atlantic City, New Jersey

Keila Ravelo has been charged, alongside her husband Melvin Feliz, with conspiring to commit wire fraud. US Attorney Paul Fishman announced their arrest by federal law enforcement officers. Mr Fishman has not named the two firms but media reports have pointed to Wilkie Farr and Hunton & Williams. However, Mr Fishman says that 'both law firms' have co-operated with the investigation.
