A former federal prosecutor who lived under the shadow of a criminal indictment for three years before it was dismissed in 2013 has sued international gunmaker Gaston Glock Sr., his Georgia-based companies and several lawyers, claiming they conspired to frame him to conceal a global tax evasion scheme by Glock.
