Dead executive's estate sues Hollywood private eye over wiretaps - KGPE - CBS TV47: "Former Hollywood private eye Anthony Pellicano has been sued by executors for the estate of the late Herbalife International founder Mark Hughes.
Pellicano is awaiting a federal trial on wiretapping and racketeering charges.
The federal lawsuit claims Pellicano wiretapped the executive on behalf of his former wife while the couple was going through a divorce. The complaint alleges that Suzan Hughes used information from Pellicano's alleged wiretaps to negotiate a 'highly advantageous' divorce settlement in 1998.
Hughes built Herbalife into a billion-dollar nutritional supplement business. He died in 2000 from a drug and alcohol overdose.
Pellicano has been jailed without bail since his arrest last year and is awaiting an August trial date. He will be acting as his own lawyer in the trial."
