HOUSTON - Lawyers for Jeffrey Skilling have asked the government to release $60 million in assets under its control, citing the former Enron Corp. CEO's acquittal on insider trading charges connected to the funds.
Defense attorney Daniel Petrocelli filed a motion with U.S. District Court Judge Sim Lake on Monday requesting the assets be released to Skilling.
"Jeff wants to pay his obligations. He has obligations to his children, his family and of course he owes substantial sums of money to his lawyers," Petrocelli told the Houston Chronicle for a story in Wednesday editions.
