Michael Avenatti Arrested Tuesday For Violating Pretrial Terms

LOS ANGELES, CA. (THECOUNT) — Michael Avenatti was taken into custody by IRS agents Tuesday on allegations of violating the terms of his pretrial release on Tuesday.

Avenatti has been facing criminal investigations in New York and California on a variety of issues, including alleged extortion of Nike in New York, wire fraud of a client and tax fraud in California.

The State Bar of California last year began the process to disbar him from law practice in the state.
