An attorney for the former chief executive of a troubled Middletown nursing home chain says his client plans to plead guilty to federal charges that he improperly used money intended for the homes.
Attorney Hugh Keefe said Raymond Termini planned to plead guilty Tuesday afternoon in U.S. District Court in Bridgeport to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and engaging in unlawful monetary transactions.
Keefe said Termini used millions of dollars that was supposed to go to operating expenses and for sprinklers at the nursing homes instead to buy apartment houses.
Middletown-based Haven Healthcare was one of the state’s largest nursing home chains before it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2007, operating 27 facilities in five states, including 15 in Connecticut. (AP)
