Doctor may face forfeiture attempt

Federal prosecutors will pursue criminal forfeiture, rather than civil, against a prominent Coeur d’Alene doctor and his wife in connection to a multi-state drug ring bust. Wendy Olson, United States Attorney for the District of Idaho, clarified a previous article in The Press that stated Dr. Stanley Toelle, 61, and his 51-year-old wife, Loren, would be subject to civil forfeiture. Olson said criminal forfeiture is contingent on the Toelles being convicted in federal court on charges ranging from money laundering to distribution of controlled substances. Dr. Toelle was charged with conspiracy to launder money and faces up to 20 years in prison if found guilty/ Keith Cousins , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
