LOS ANGELES — The chief prosecutor for the State Bar of California said Tuesday that the agency was taking a fresh look at attorney conduct in landmark Armenian genocide reparations cases following a Los Angeles Times investigation that detailed corruption and misdirection of funds in one of the settlements.
“The State Bar is reviewing these cases to determine whether there is any new information that would warrant further action,” said the bar’s Chief Trial Counsel George Cardona, a former federal prosecutor appointed last year to lead investigations and prosecutions at the agency that regulates the legal profession in California.
The bar previously disciplined one attorney and attempted to discipline two others in connection with the genocide litigation.
