The Wall Street Journal reports that, former Credit Suisse Group broker Julian Tzolov, who returned to the U.S. last week after being a fugitive for more than a month, is expected to plead guilty Wednesday to fraud charges tied to the sale of auction-rate securities, according to people familiar with the matter.
A hearing, described as a "criminal cause for pleading," has been set for 9 a.m. Wednesday before U.S. District Judge Jack Weinstein in Brooklyn, N.Y.
Mr. Tzolov is expected to plead guilty to charges related to an alleged scheme to obtain higher commissions by selling clients higher-risk auction-rate securities backed by mortgages, when those clients wanted to buy lower-risk securities backed by student loans, according to a person familiar with the matter. It is not clear whether the expected guilty plea will be part of a deal with prosecutors.
