The criminal investigation, which included reviewing bank records and subpoenas, revealed that Lieu allegedly deposited more than $57,000 into her personal bank accounts, according to police.
A criminal complaint is merely an allegation. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.
