A Virginia grand jury indicted 16 followers of political extremist Lyndon H. LaRouche Jr. on felony securities fraud and other charges. A state prosecutor said the charges stemmed from the sale of notes and other securities on behalf of LaRouche-related organizations and involved a portion of $30 million in allegedly fraudulent solicitations over several years. State and city police and Loudoun County Sheriff’s deputies began arresting the LaRouche followers at their homes and at LaRouche’s headquarters in Leesburg, about 30 miles outside Washington.
