Physician faces new charges

Thursday, March 11, 1999 | 9:46 a.m.

Luisito Evangelista, 69, was initially indicted last month on drug trafficking charges.

A federal grand jury brought several new charges Wednesday.

According to a superseding indictment, Evangelista distributed controlled substances with a street value of $1.5 million. The activity allegedly took place between October 1997 and February 1999. The figure includes about $1 million worth of hydrocodone, a synthetic form of codeine.

The new indictment claims Evangelista traveled between Chicago and Las Vegas several times during the past year to carry out his illegal activity.
