LOS ANGELES, March 23, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gary Jay Kaufman, attorney for Insomniac Events, issued the following statement regarding Pasquale Rotella's voluntary court appearance this morning after learning that the District Attorney's office was looking for Mr. Rotella:
"Mr. Rotella moved mountains to return expeditiously to Los Angeles from pre-planned business travel in Florida in order to appear in court voluntarily today to defend himself against any baseless charges.
"Pasquale Rotella has always acted lawfully and appropriately with respect to all of his dealings with the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Any allegations of wrongdoing on the part of Mr. Rotella by the District Attorney's office are completely baseless and flat-out wrong, both on the law and on the facts.
"All transactions between Insomniac and the Coliseum were transparent and approved by the Coliseum General Manager, his staff and the attorneys representing the Coliseum. While we recognize that issues surrounding the Coliseum demand attention, we are extremely disappointed that the District Attorney would seek to have Mr. Rotella arrested when he did nothing wrong.
"Any charges against Mr. Rotella are clearly politically motivated and publicity driven. Mr. Rotella will vigorously defend himself to clear his good name and looks forward to being completely vindicated.
"In the meantime, it is business as usual for Insomniac. The company has a robust leadership team in place implementing Mr. Rotella's vision and no events will be impacted."
