The former director of security for accused swindler Robert Allen Stanford has been charged with destroying documents in the investigation into the alleged multibillion-dollar fraud. Federal prosecutors say Thomas Raffanello, who worked at Stanford Financial Group’s office in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., ordered a subordinate to shred documents after they were told to keep documents for federal investigators. Raffanello was charged with destroying records in an investigation and conspiring to obstruct a Securities and Exchange Commission proceeding. Stanford is awaiting trial in Texas on charges that his financial empire was really a sprawling Ponzi scheme gone bust.
