Brief: NFL asks for records of DeBartolo casino deal

Thursday, Oct. 29, 1998 | 4:03 a.m.

NFL officials made a public records request Monday to the Louisiana Gaming Control Board for all information related to DeBartolo's application for the state's last riverboat casino license.

The league also wants records dealing with the $95 million sale of his shares in two Isle of Capri casinos, which were held by the DeBartolo family corporation that owned Louisiana Downs race track in Bossier City.

DeBartolo is trying to regain control of the team, but faces NFL scrutiny after pleading guilty to a felony charge of failing to report the alleged extortion for a promise to testify against Edwards.
