Gee, what a surprise!
The former owners of the Hotel Pere Marquette were indicted this week on charges of money laundering and mail fraud.
A 26-page indictment, returned late Tuesday, accuses Gary Matthews and Monte Brannan of diverting $750,000 of hotel funds to themselves after the hotel went into foreclosure. Overall, they are accused of taking approximately $1.6 million away from the hotel's bank accounts and putting it into their own.
