A Scranton lawyer who formerly represented ex-state Attorney General Kathleen Kane can’t shake a lawsuit accusing him and others of filing false charges against a businessman in an attempt to oust that man from a company board.
While tossing malicious prosecution claims against litigator and criminal defense attorney Amil Minora and three board members of a medical device company, Scranton-based U.S. District Judge Robert D. Mariani ruled that Minora and his co-defendants had to face allegations that they abused the legal process. The defendants are accused of falsely telling the Lackawanna County District Attorney’s Office that Michael G. Martin misappropriated funds from their company.
