The State - News from Aug. 8, 1986

Beverly Hills attorney Anthony Truex, 44, was sentenced by a U.S. District Court judge in Sacramento to three years in federal prison and ordered to repay $70,000 for his part in a bribery scheme against the California State Teachers Retirement System. Truex was indicted with former fund chairman Gilbert Chilton, a fugitive. Federal prosecutors said Chilton obtained a $50-million loan from the state pension fund for a questionable oil field project from which Chilton derived $1 million in bribes and payoffs handled by Truex. The project was proposed by convicted Colorado swindler Charles Raymond, who died in 1983. Truex’s attorney said his client had suffered mental problems when he was drawn into the scheme. Truex also was placed on five years’ probation.
