Kansas City man jailed in online gambling probe

[The Buzz]

Nicholas Zicarelli became the 10th person to be jailed for failing to testify in a federal online gambling investigation in Kansas City.

Zicarelli's attorney said that his client was merely a customer of the gambling operation that federal authorities are investigating.

From the Kansas City Star:

Zicarelli was called before the grand jury earlier this fall but declined to testify, invoking his Fifth Amendment right not to give evidence that could tend to show that he had committed a crime.

A judge then gave him immunity from prosecution, but Zicarelli persisted in his refusal. On Monday, (U.S. District Judge Greg) Kays found him in contempt and ordered Zicarelli jailed for up to 18 months or until he agreed to tell what he knows to the grand jury.
