Associated Press - PITTSBURGH
The son of a county judge was charged Friday in a bank fraud scheme, federal prosecutors said.
Lee Mazur Jr., 37, was charged with money laundering and conspiracy to commit mail and bank fraud. He is the son of Allegheny County Judge Lee Mazur.
Mazur Jr. and Christopher Fekos ripped off banks and lending agencies by filing fraudulent loan applications, including some in the judge's name and without his knowledge, according to court documents.
Fekos was charged in June with similar offenses and is awaiting trial.
Mazur Jr. and Fekos used a fake W-2 statement that overstated the judge's income to obtain one loan, according to prosecutors. Mazur Jr. is also accused of using $52,293 in illegally obtained money to purchase a certified check from a bank payable to a business owned by Fekos.
Neither Mazur Jr. nor his father could be reached for comment Friday
