Official: Antigua arrest in Stanford case

The Associated Press:"ST. JOHN'S, Antigua (AP) — An Antiguan official says the island's former chief financial regulator has surrendered to face U.S. charges that he aided an alleged $7 billion swindle by Texas billionaire R. Allen Stanford.

Leroy King is accused of accepting more than $100,000 in bribes to turn a blind eye to the fraud.

The official who confirmed Thursday's arrest spoke on condition of anonymity because the person is not authorized to discuss the case."
