UPDATE 1-U.S. atty in NY indicts 26 for mortgage fraud

(Reuters) - The new indictment added more than two dozen new counts to
an original indictment. Some defendants were charged with

rent-regulated condominium apartments at 243 West 98th Street
on Manhattan's Upper West Side, Michael Garcia, the U.S.
attorney, said in a statement.




The probe, which included the Federal Bureau of

including Galina Zhigun, who owns Brooklyn-based mortgage
brokerage AGA Capital NY, Inc. Many of the defendants worked
