U.S. Atty. Andrew Lelling says David Nangle, a 20-year state rep, stole more than $70K in campaign funds to pay personal expenses & took various steps to cover his tracks.
He paid golf club dues, bought flowers for his girlfriend, & paid for casino trips, Lelling said.
The U.S. Atty said Nangle went so far as paying someone to collect his winnings at a casino.
The Lowell rep secured more than $300,000 from a local bank through fraud & appears to have filed false tax returns through fake deductions, Lelling said.
