Harry and Leona Helmsley, wealthy real estate operators who are already facing twin tax fraud indictments, could receive more bad news: additional charges for allegedly using a corporate aircraft for private use, a federal prosecutor has revealed. “There’s a lot of money involved--several hundred thousand dollars,” Assistant U.S. Atty.

DeVita, at a pretrial hearing in Manhattan, said the extra charges against the Helmsleys could be filed by July 31.
