03/26/08 - Kartesz Hearing Set for Monday in Erie
A plea hearing for Frank Kartesz II, a key figure in the ongoing federal mortgage-fraud investigation in Erie, has been rescheduled. Kartesz, a former Bradford landlord, is now set to enter a plea before U.S. District Court Judge Sean J. McLaughlin on Monday at 1:30 p.m. at the federal courthouse in Erie. Kartesz's plea hearing had been set for Feb. 15, but it was abruptly canceled. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Erie on Jan. 31 charged Kartesz with one count each of mail fraud and criminal conspiracy to commit mail fraud, wire fraud and bank fraud. Kartesz waived his indictment in the mortgage-fraud case. The government alleges that Kartesz was part of a scheme in which he and others bought run-down houses and sold them at artificially inflated prices.
