Former Express General Manager Tony Mancuso was indicted last week for embezzling funds from the hockey team. A Roanoke Grand Jury handed up a three count indictment charging Mancuso and his assistant James Higginbotham with embezzlement, obtaining money by false pretenses and grand larceny. Now several people who worked with Mancuso during the 98-99 season are speaking out about the allegations.

Head Coach Perry Florio was an assistant while Mancuso was the General Manager. Florio says at the time, he didn't realize Mancuso was allegedly making trade out arrangements intended for the benefit of the team that winded up being used for Mancuso's personal use. Mike Peron, the team's Captain, says he thought some of the perks Mancuso provided was a sign of the times for the organization.

The team's current general manager, Mark Fackrell, says it wasn't until after Mancuso and his assistant James Higginbotham left the organization that they realized it was "swimming in red ink". Payments to several businesses were late or never paid. One of those businesses was Lee Hartman and Sons. As a result it stopped sponsoring the team for two years.

Meanwhile Mancuso's attorney says he's "outraged" by the allegations in the three count indictment. The attorney said Mancuso was not fired in 1999 for stealing from the hockey team.. he was merely let go. Currently Mancuso is employed in what his attorney said was a "high level job" not in sports management.
