What are Lopez's charges?
The backstory:
Lopez was previously arrested in June alongside her husband in connection to an alleged racketeering case involving an illegal gambling operation. She was charged with conspiracy to commit racketeering and released several weeks later on a $400,000 bond, after a judge verified the source of the bond money.
Now, she's charged with providing false information or omitting material facts in a bail application — stemming from that earlier bond process. Prosecutors say Lopez may have misrepresented or withheld information related to how her bail was funded.
