More executives targeted in Chippewa Cree Tribe criminal probe

Executives of a firm that once worked with the Chippewa Cree Tribe of Montana are facing a criminal probe, the Associated Press reports.

Zachary Roberts, Richard Lee Broome and Martin Mazzara of Encore Services LLC disclosed the probe by asking a federal judge to delay a civil lawsuit filed by the tribe, the AP said. The U.S. Attorney's Office in Montana, though, would not confirm or deny an investigation.

"The criminal investigation mirrors the civil action and is substantially similar if not identical to the subject matter of the civil action," attorneys for the trio wrote in a court filing, the AP reported.
