David Correia was one of four individuals named in an indictment that accused a pair of Florida businessmen with orchestrating a straw donor scheme to circumvent campaign finance laws. Lev Parnas and Igor Fruman, associates of Giuliani's, allegedly funneled money to numerous Republican committees, including a $325,000 donation to a pro-Trump super PAC using a fake energy company they created.

Correia is accused of using foreign money to generate political support for a marijuana business in Nevada and other states. Parnas and Fruman, who are also charged with making false statements to election regulators and conspiracy, were arrested outside Washington, D.C., last week after the charges were leveled.
