A former New York FBI Agent accused of an “extensive scheme” to derail a criminal investigation into potential military fraud will remain free from jail – for now, reports the Salt Lake Tribune.
U.S. District Court Judge Ted Stewart dismissed prosecutors claims that Robert G. Lustyik Jr., 50, would continue to disregard the law.
Lustyik was arrested Saturday at his home in Sleepy Hollow on four counts of conspiracy. wire fraud, obstruction of justice and obstruction of an agency proceeding.
Lustyik, a 20-year veteran of the FBI’s counter-intelligence squad in New York, is accused of attempting to derail an investigation into a business partner, Michael Taylor, in exchange for cash and other favors, the Tribune reported.
