Holly madison fiance, Holly Madison's fiance is reportedly facing more than 13 years in prison.
The
former 'The Girls Next Door' star's partner Pasquale Rotella, who is
the father of her two-month-old baby girl Rainbow Aurora, attended a
pre-trial hearing in Los Angeles on Monday (13.05.13) for a number of
serious charges including bribery, embezzlement, conspiracy and conflict
of interest.
According to gossip website RadarOnline.com the LA
County District Attorney alleges that the owner of Insomniac events used
more than $2.5 million in funds from the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum
to pay off city officials so he could host raves in the venue.
Pasquale - who was indicted with five other males - posted a $1.8 million bail and is due back in court on July 29.
If convicted the father-of-one, who is due to marry Holly, 33, on August 14, could serve almost 14 years behind bars.
But
his lawyer Gary Jay Kaufman previously said he is confident that his
client will be found innocent, calling the charges ''politically
motivated and publicity driven.''
He added: ''[Rotella] has always
acted lawfully and appropriately with respect to all of his dealings
with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Any allegations of wrongdoing on
the part of Mr. Rotella by the District Attorney's office are
completely baseless and flat-out wrong, both on the law and on the
facts.''
Holly, who stars in a new E! reality special 'Holly Has A
Baby' alongside Pasquale, recently said they hope to have six children
together.
