Attorney Arrested For Stealing From Elderly Man

A Melbourne, FL attorney connected to a condo project scam has been arrested for allegedly stealing funds from a 72-year-old man.

Brevard County Sheriff's deputies arrested Albert Lagano late Monday and charged him with grand theft of a person older than 65 and of more than $50,000. The charge is a first-degree felony, punishable by up to 30 years in prison. Lagano, 49, was released from Brevard County jail on a $15,000 bond.

Lagano was disbarred in November for 10 years after the Florida Bar found him guilty of five counts related to trust fund shortages and comingling client funds.
