 LOS ANGELES (AP) - A private eye was charged Monday with wiretapping such stars as Sylvester Stallone and Keith Carradine and paying tens of thousands of dollars to bribe a police officer for dirt on Hollywood figures.
Anthony Pellicano, 61, pleaded not guilty to racketeering, interception of electronic communications and other offenses. He was charged along with a Los Angeles police officer, telephone company employee and four others.
"These charges allege a disturbing pattern of criminal conduct in which money flowed freely to encourage sworn law enforcement officers to violate their oath to uphold the law," Acting U.S. Attorney George Cardona said.
