Fraud Charges Rancho Cucamonga
Authorities in San Bernardino have arrested a Rancho Cucamonga man, his step-daughter, and an attorney in connection with a $2.5 million real estate fraud. Richard Nazabal, Christina Martirossian, and Glendale attorney Garabed Kamarian were arrested for their roles in persuading investors to give money to purchase, improve and sell homes in the Inland Empire area. Nazabal's wife Desiree is also suspected of participating in the scheme; she has disappeared and is wanted on a $2.5 million warrant.
After receiving the investment money, the Nazabals are accused of spending it on a lavish lifestyle. Martirossian was arrested for her role in a false billing scheme related to the fraud, and Kamarian is accused of falsifying loan documents on the purchase of a luxury home for the Nazabals. Richard Nazabal, Kamarian and Martirossian were also charged with grand theft. Martirossian was released, but Kamarian is being held on $500,000 bail and Richard Nazabal is being held on a $2.5 million bail.
