A federal judge has lifted the lien on the $1.2 million Dedham, Mass. home of two of the defendants in the criminal case stemming from the 2012 fungal meningitis outbreak.
In an order issued today, but dated tomorrow, U.S. District Judge Richard G. Stearns granted the request by Douglas and Carla Conigliaro to release the $250,000 lien placed on one of their residences. It was imposed following their 2014 indictment.
Lawyers for the Conigliaros petitioned for the release noting that their probation sentences - two years for Douglas and one year for Carla - had passed.
The two entered guilty pleas to vastly reduced charges that they made structured withdrawals from bank accounts in violation of federal reporting requirements. They were not charged for involvement in the deadly outbreak that resulted in the deaths of more than 100 patients across the country.
In addition to the Norfolk County home, the Conigliaros own a Beacon Hill condo. They purchased it for slightly less than $4.2 million.
Douglas Conigliaro headed Medical Sales Management, the sales arm for the New England Compounding Center, the company blamed for the 2012 outbreak.
