Drives, Files Seized at La. ACORN Offices
(NEW ORLEANS) — Investigators are searching the New Orleans offices of the activist group ACORN in connection with embezzlement and tax fraud allegations.
Assistant Attorney General David Caldwell said a warrant was obtained to seize computers, hard drives and other documents Friday. Caldwell said investigators will copy records and hard drives, then return them to the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.
He said the allegations of embezzlement were made last year by ACORN board members who were fired after they asked to look at the group's books.
ACORN fired the longtime director of its Louisiana chapter last month, citing a lack of accountability.
