One day before Pellicano's completion of his 30 month sentence in the Tracey, California federal prison for illegal weapons possession he was transferred to San Bernadino pending the rumour of new charges. After a relative vacuum of media coverage on Anthony Pellicano for over the past three years, a 60 page indictment was handed down in federal court in Los Angeles on February 6, 2006. However, the 110-count charge sheet against Pellicano remains silent on what embarrassing information was obtained, how it was used and, in most circumstances, who paid for it. An amended indictment has accused the first celebrity attorney, Terry Christensen, of knowingly paying Pellicano to wiretap his millionaire client's ex-wife, Bonder Kerkorian. Pellicano currently desires to fire his current attorney and represent himself in the case, but a court ordered competency evaluation has been ordered before his request will even be considered by the judge. Six defendants have thus far plead guilty to their charges.

According to Stephen Tidwell, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles office, they are not going to stop until they discover "all the illegal activities that Pellicano participated in". We can only pray, but thankfully there still appears to be an ongoing Federal Grand Jury in Los Angeles investigating Pellicano's wiretapping, bribery, and intimidation of people in the service of his celebrity clients. Surely the many other A-listers, who eagerly employed Pellicano for their own dishonest advantage, bare some degree of blame in all this.

The FBI probe that initiated the current chain of events for Pellicano grew out of their long term tracking of Mafia connections with the Long Shoreman's operations on the East Coast. A multitude of civil actions have also been filed recently against Pellicano for not only his use of illegal wiretapping but for the personal suffering he caused to the claimants.

There had been a relative dirth of information about Pellicano over the past three years (most notably from the newspapers in Los Angeles) before the current events of the new indictment started. This media vacuum is what created a need for a comprehensive database of references on the Internet about Pellicano. I am not a reporter, writer, lawyer nor litigant. I was informed by very credible sources close to two years ago that I was one of Pellicano's many non-celebrity victims. My medical license was wrongfully revoked in November of 2000 secondary to Pellicano's prowess in "media spin" with a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, Chuck Philips. The Medical Board of California, after urging by Governor Schwarzenegger, has finally honored the Superior Court order to reinstate my license from September 29, 2003 on August 18, 2005 and I am currently fully recredentialed. I can't express my gratitude enough to the many supporters, former patients, family and friends who contributed so much of their time and effort so that I could once again practice medicine, which I love.

Initially Anthony Pellicano Web Links began as I had searched to find out more information about Pellicano for myself. Since starting this website I have unfortunately met many other non-celebrity types who have had their lives nearly destroyed by Pellicano and his enterprise. While media attention to the high profile wiretapping trial may allow some of these victims a second chance to seek justice, nothing will compensate them for the wasted time, financial burden, and psychological trauma of their initial encounter with the broken court system that Anthony Pellicano had been allowed to corrupt. Hopefully the Pellicano case is just a start of what will evolve into a much broader scrutiny of the legal and law enforcement professions in Los Angeles. As of right now there is not only a failure of some to follow the law, but also by those who are entrusted to make sure that laws are followed.

With an increased awareness of just how broad this man's scope was in his power to extort, traumatize and ruin the lives of others (aided by what seemed to be his limitless political and legal connections), I've decided to keep this Internet record regularly updated in the hope that it might be of benefit to others too. Hope all who come find it was worth the effort.

Mr. Pellicano has plead innocent to a 112 count indictment handed down in federal court where he and thirteen others are accused of crimes that include racketeering and conspiracy, wiretapping, identity theft, witness tampering and destruction of evidence. He is being held without bail in LA County. The indictment comes after Pellicano finished serving his 30 month month sentence for illegal weapons possession. An attorney, Terry Christensen,who used Pellicano has also been implicated in the wiretapping scandal in a new ammended indictment. Six people have already plead guilty in the federal investigation and are co-operating with the prosecutors. Assistant U.S. Attorney, Kevin Lally, has indicated that more indictments are forthcoming in the next few months before jury selection begins.

Mr. Pellicano now has asked the court if he may represent himself in the case after he fired his second attorney, Victor sherman and hired Stephen Gruel, a retired federal prosecutor and San Francisco defense attorney. His first attorney had been Bert Field's first criminal attorney as well, Donald Re. Sources say that Mr. Pellicano's funds have run dry and that his current defense is being paid for by one of his former A-list employers. If convicted, he will serve up to 20 years for each charge.

The Los Angeles Times has featured prominently in the reporting of recent current events about Mr. Pellicano. Interestingly though, they have still failed to publicly disclose the extent of their own newspaper's prior involvement with the investigator. Sources say that the in house counsel for the Times had frequently used Mr. Pellicano's services in the past.

There is still an investigative Grand Jury ongoing in Los Angeles probing wiretap and extortion issues with Mr. Pellicano and many of his celebrity clients and further indictments are expected over the next few months. Assistant U.S. attorneys Daniel Saunders and Kevin Lally continue to head the Pellicano investigation and prosecution (213)892-2272 . Stanley Ornellas and Stephan Tidwell are the FBI agents in Los Angeles still working the case (310)996-4305.
