Enron figure to plead guilty

Friday, April 30, 2004 | 9:08 a.m.

HOUSTON -- Lea Fastow, the wife of ex-Enron Corp. Chief Financial Officer Andrew Fastow, Thursday agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor charge of filing a false tax statement, averting a trial and limiting her exposure to a long prison term.

Lea Fastow, Enron's former assistant treasurer, this month withdrew an earlier guilty plea to a felony tax charge after a judge rejected a proposed sentence of as little as 10 months.

A new indictment released Thursday by the U.S. Justice Department's Enron Task Force charged Lea Fastow with filing a 2000 tax return that omitted additional income beyond the $48.5 million she and her husband had reported.
