Jean-Jacques Cabou was quoted in "Former Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu, Ex-County Attorney Lando Voyles Subject of FBI Probe," published by AZ Central, regarding an FBI inquiry into whether the top two law enforcement officials of Pinal County used RICO funds inappropriately.

Jean-Jacques Cabou said Tuesday he is glad federal authorities are looking into the way RICO funds were used by Babeu and Voyles.

Cabou said the lawsuit is ongoing. Voyles filed a motion to dismiss it in 2015, which the court has not yet ruled upon.

"It is certainly good that additional scrutiny is being leveled on what appears to be (questionable) spending of RICO funds," he said. "I stand by the allegations in the complaint."
