N.C. Man in Deep Water For Making $2.3 Million Fraudulent Deepwater Horizon Claim
A North Carolina resident was arrested Feb. 23 for allegedly making a fraudulent claim on the fund set up to compensate victims of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill.
Assistant Attorney General Leslie R. Caldwell of the Justice Department’s Criminal Division said Michael R. Rosella, 45, of Wilmington, N.C., was arrested in connection with an indictment returned last week and unsealed following his arrest. The indictment by a grand jury in the District of Columbia charges Rosella with one count of mail fraud, three counts of wire fraud and two counts of money laundering.
