The lawyer for a man about to go on trial for extortion must respond to a subpoena concerning the source of legal fees in the case, a New York federal judge has ruled. Federal prosecutors served the subpoena on attorney Bruce A. Barket because a check cashed by the lawyer was written by one of the alleged extortion victims of his client, Salvatore Scala, allegedly of the Gambino crime family. Prosecutors learned from another extortion victim that his payments increased because Scala had to pay legal fees.
