An executive with a prominent builder of residential high-rises in Las Vegas and an alleged accomplice are facing federal charges that they stole almost $6 million from the company over a nearly five-year span, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Turnberry West Realty controller Hope Ippoliti, 51, and Rocco Lazazzaro, 54, both of Las Vegas, were named in a 26-count federal indictment handed up Dec. 19 in Las Vegas. Each faces one conspiracy and 24 wire fraud charges. Lazazzaro also is accused of attempting to interfere with interstate commerce by threats and violence.
